Sharp will hope to add Commonwealth Gold to her European title

These include Olympic medallists Daniel Purvis, Craig MacLean and Emily Maguire.

With 310 participants, it is the largest squad Scotland have ever entered in a Commonwealth Games.

"Our aim was to select our largest team ever meeting the tough selection standards and clearly athletes in all sports have risen to the occasion," said Team Scotland chef de mission Jon Doig.

"This however is just the first step and our focus now turns to ensuring we are the best prepared team ever, capable of delivering our best ever performance, competing with distinction across all sports.

"Looking at the athletes we have selected I am confident that we can achieve our target of at least 34 medals.

"Thanks also to Glasgow 2014 and the other Games partners, Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government, for working closely with us to ensure that our vision of an athlete centred Games will be realised."

One of the newly-selected athletes is Joasia Zakrzewski, who replaces injured marathon runner Freya Ross.

European 800m champion Lynsey Sharp is included after achieving the qualifying standard last month, and she believes setting a target of at least 34 medals is good for the team.

"It really makes you think we mean business here," said Sharp.

"It's all very well making the team but now it's about stepping up and really fighting for those medals."

Like-for-like replacements can be made to teams close to the start of the Games.
