New tartan unveiled for Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2026

The official tartan, designed by award-winning Scottish fashion designer Siobhan Mackenzie, was launched by the Glasgow 2026 Organising Company and has been registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans. Siobhan has made a name for herself reinventing classic tartans into contemporary fashion, with her designs having previously been worn by huge stars such as Justin Bieber and Alan Cumming. She said: "I feel honoured to be designing a tartan for such a momentous occasion in my home country. "When I graduated as a fashion design student in 2014, I took on a role as a tailoring technician for the technical officials of The Games. "At that point, designing the official tartan for the Games seemed like a pipedream, so this is truly a full circle moment. "I love weaving stories into tartan design, and while many people might be expecting a blue or green base, I looked at Glasgow's rich history and felt inspired by the shipbuilding stories. "This led to a steel grey base with the Glasgow 2026 colours woven through in my signature style. "It's incredibly important to me that every thread of this project is made in Scotland, and I'll be working with local textiles and manufacturers to bring this design to life. "I can't wait to see it across next year's Games.'

A thread count of 74 represents the nations and territories taking part in the Games, while the dark blue section has been increased to 26 in homage to the Games which will take place in Glasgow from July 23 to August 2.

Official Glasgow 2026 tartan merchandise will also be made available for fans.

"Siobhan is an expert in her field and has collaborated closely with us throughout the production process. "This special tartan draws inspiration from Glasgow's Clyde-built history, and she has carefully selected the threads of wool to celebrate the Games with this one-off tartan. "As Glasgow 2026 fast approaches with our one-year-to-go milestone next week, this tartan is a sign of what's to come next summer and will be part of the fabric of Glasgow 2026 across the city."

Rory Darge sets Scotland target under his leadership

Scotland pulled off victory in New Zealand in the first match of the Pacific adventure when they beat the Maori All Blacks but were on the end of a 29-14 defeat by Fiji last weekend. Rory Darge is feeling the added responsibility of a captain as Scotland bid to ensure their summer tour is judged a success. They close their summer schedule in Auckland on Friday when they take on Samoa and Darge is determined to ensure those outside the camp see the progress made off the pitch. The 25-year-old has shared captaincy duties with Finn Russell in the past two Guinness Six Nations tournaments and has relished leading on his own with the fly-half on British and Irish Lions duty. 'It's something that I feel like I've enjoyed more and more, leading the team in some sort of way,' the Glasgow flanker said. 'And whatever way it is, I'm obviously happy to do it. 'Being given the honour of captain is something that I'll never take for granted. I'm just enjoying it, I'm enjoying the challenges of it as well.

It's something that I think I'm just starting to grow in. 'I suppose that's what makes last Saturday more frustrating. I don't think we really gave the tour justice and that's why this Friday is so important. 'It's been great from everyone involved. The connections that we've had and the quality time we've spent together. 'The time difference means that not a lot of people are up at the same time as you from back home. So your companions out here are the only ones you really spend any time with. 'It's great for us to spend that time together. That's what made last Saturday more frustrating. But it puts more pressure on us this Friday to give a performance that the tour deserves.' The manner of Scotland's defeat in Suva was all the more frustrating after picking up three yellow cards – two of them for Darcy Graham – and conceding 15 penalties. 'Watching it back, a few penalties for different reasons and errors and stuff that's in our control, that really gave Fiji momentum,' Darge said. 'It was stuff that we could have avoided. So there's a frustration off the back of that performance, but there's also an excitement about the challenge we've got ahead. We know Samoa are going to be really tough opposition. 'Right at the start of this tour we were talking about how not many of us have played in New Zealand. 'Not many Scottish teams can say they've played in New Zealand. Not many teams can say they've come and won in New Zealand. I think the team that played against Maori All Blacks, that was a massive win. It's a massive motivation for us to go and do something similar on Friday. 'And to play at Eden Park will be really special. 'It's something that you probably don't fully appreciate – the history and culture of it – until you go to the stadium. 'I'm just talking on experience with other stadiums, playing at Twickenham for the first time or playing at Paris for the first time, when you're there and you see the historic moments up on the wall. I've heard really good things about Eden Park from that point of view.'
