Clyde the Thistle rules out return for Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games
Clyde the Thistle has ruled himself out of returning for the 2026 Commonwealth games in Glasgow in a tongue-in-cheek press conference. A spokesperson for the Scottish mascot, who featured throughout the 2014 Games, announced Clyde's departure at Glasgow's Social Hub – however they said he will still have a role to play in next year's sporting event. Created by Cumbernauld schoolgirl Beth Gilmour, 12, who won a children's competition to design the mascot, Clyde featured throughout the 2014 Games. The Clyde trail saw 25 statues of the mascot placed throughout Glasgow and over 50,000 cuddly toys of Clyde were sold. Clyde was the first non-animal mascot chosen for a Commonwealth Games. The statement read: 'Friends, fellow Glaswegians and distinguished members of the press – I come before you today around my involvement in next summer's Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. It has such a place in the heart of this city and in Scotland. SNS Group Clyde the Thistle SNS Group 'It was a far greater honour than a simple thistle could ever ask for; one of the greatest sporting summers Glasgow ever seen. 'Without giving away too much, I'm so excited about this next chapter in Glasgow's association with the famous Commonwealth Games. 'I will have a part to play in Glasgow 2026 with more to be revealed soon and I know you're going to love it.' Glasgow was announced as the Games host for the second time last year after the original host, the Australian state of Victoria, was forced to withdraw. The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will take place from July 23 to August 2 next year.

See the full list of Santander banks closing in UK this month including 5 in Scotland
Santander has confirmed that it is closing a number of branches in July with a few in Scotland taking a hit The series of summer bank closures continues with a wave of high street banks set to shut. Reports indicate that 41 bank branches are anticipated for closure in July, with Santander accounting for a striking 38 of those. In a significant shake-up, Santander earlier this year declared plans to axe 95 branches starting June, attributing the decision to a swerve in customer preference towards online banking over in-person services. This trend has reverberated across multiple financial institutions such as Natwest, Lloyds Bank, and Halifax. This has led to numerous branch closures. The pattern of closures saw 69 bank losses in May and about 85 in June. It is forecast that another 13 will close their doors in August, with 21 more following in September. And by the end of 2025, the UK is projected to witness the demise of 399 bank branches. Cornwall emerges as the most impacted area in the latest round of downsizing, with four branches shutting in July. In Scotland, five branches will pull down the shutters for good, ranging from the Borders to North Lanarkshire. Responding to the closures, Santander aims to deploy Community Bankers to public spaces like libraries and community centres to offer banking assistance to those in need, reports the Express. A spokesperson from Santander stated: "Closing a branch is always a very difficult decision and we spend a great deal of time assessing where and when we do this and how to minimise the impact it may have on our customers. "We believe that the introduction of our new Community Bankers and the exciting plans we have for our remaining network of 349 branches and Work Cafés, alongside the rapid and innovative improvements to our award-winning mobile banking app, will provide the right balance of digital banking and human interaction when required." Scots will have seen 10 Santander branches close their doors over June and July. The first to close in Scotland was Santander's Arbroath branch on June 17. In the latest announcement, it was confirmed Cumbernauld, Hawick, and Musselburgh would all be shutting. And Scotland's last branch to close this year will be Wishaw, on July 22. Santander's Turriff branch is the only Scottish store yet to be given a confirmed closing date. You can see the full list of Scots Santander branches closing this summer here.
