What to expect from the Scots on Friday at the Olympics

Well, it's not quite going to plan for all of Great Britain's Scottish contingent at the Olympics, is it?

Former world 1500m champion Jake Wightman's withdrawal and shooter Seonaid McIntosh's failure to make the final of her favoured event were added to by Andy Murray's sad but typically battling end to his career on Thursday.

It means Duncan Scott's relay gold and Beth Potter's triathlon bronze remain the only medals claimed by Scots.

However, Friday is another day filled with possibilities.

Scott is in medal action again in the final of the 200m individual medley, Scott Brash goes for gold in the showjumping, and the athletics starts at the Stade de France, where world 1500m champion Josh Kerr, Neil Gourlay and Jemma Reekie take to the track.

And sailor Fynn Sterritt will try again in the men’s skiff final, which was rescheduled from Thursday due to conditions.

Which Scots are competing & when?

Friday night is set up to be a barnstormer at the pool and Scott will play a big part as he races in the main event - the 200m IM final (19:43 BST).

France's swimming sensation, Leon Marchand, is aiming for an incredible fourth gold of these Games and is the favourite in a stacked field, which also includes Scott's Great Britain team-mate Tom Dean.

Should he secure a place on the podium, as he did with silver in Tokyo three years ago, Scott will overtake Sir Chris Hoy in the all-time medal list for Scots with eight in total.

Katie Shanahan insists she has "more in the tank" after making a second final at her debut Olympics, this time in the 200m backstroke (19:36).

Can she improve on her seventh place in the 400m IM?

At the magnificent Palace of Versailles, Peebles' Scott Brash, on horse Hello Jefferson, will aim to replicate his London 2012 team showjumping gold (14:00).

Great Britain qualified third on Thursday behind Germany and the United States and will expect to be in contention for the title.

Sterritt and team-mate James Peters’ second attempt at a medal in the men’s skiff starts at 12:13.

The race began yesterday before being interrupted and ultimately abandoned amid changing wind conditions off the coast of Marseille.

On the track, there is great expectation on Kerr as he starts his quest to add Olympic gold to his world title and get the better of his rival - defending champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway.

The Edinburgh athlete is in the first 1500m heat (10:10) while Glasgow's Gourlay will soak in the Olympic experience after overcoming injury issues to be in Paris.

He is in the third and final heat alongside Ingebrigtsen.

Fourth in the 800m at the last Olympics, Reekie starts her campaign to step on to the podium this time in the evening session (18:45).

And Lee Morton will be part of the Team GB men's hockey squad who take on group leaders Germany at 19:15, having already secured a spot in the next round.
