World record holder Josh Kerr blazed down the home straight to clinch Commonwealth Games gold in the men’s mile race at a raucous Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday night. Kerr, who had smashed Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old record in London last month, elbowed and barged his way to the front before repelling the challenge of fellow Scot Jake Wightman, who faded to finish fifth.
