Sprint legend Merlene Ottey has confirmed her participation in next month's Celtic Cup at Grangemouth Stadium, Falkirk, Scotland.
Ottey is one of several international athletes who will guest in the match between Scotland, Wales, Ireland and a Bank of Scotland Development Team on Thursday 17 August.
Jamaican-born Ottey, who now competes for Slovenia, where she resides, has a glittering CV which includes 34 medals at major championships including eight Olympic and fourteen World Championship medals.
Although now 46, she has still clocked a swift 11.42 (windy) for 100m this year and will provide a stern test for Scottish sprinters. She has also confirmed that she will compete at the Sunday Mail National Championships at Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow the preceding weekend. Further international names will be announced in the coming days.
