Nerve racking, but a great game. One more for gold.

I believe Dowly referred to this as treason.

You mean Scotland won a Silver medal.

It is interesting that at the World Championships held every year, Scotland competes as a team but not at the Olympics. David Murdoch won the Worlds in 2006 and 2009. On the other hand, maybe at the next Olympics Scotland will be a country.

Yeah, here in the UK Andy Murray is hailed as a great british tennis player when he wins but a useless Scot when he loses
