The 12,500 square foot store will open to the public from 9am tomrrow and will stock a whole range of new merchandise which has not yet been available, including a one metre high offical Glasgow 2014 mascot Clyde and a kilted Clyde.

Clyde played a key role in the dance routine before joining Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg to cut the ribbon and officially open the new store.

"The opening of the shop to the public marks the 25 day countdown to the Games and you can really feel the momentum building now," he said.

"The sheer scale and size of the store and great range of merchandise on offer will ensure that customers will be able to enjoy a fantastic Games shopping experience."

The superstore in the heart of Glasgow will sell a large range of official Games merchandise and will also stock a number of special edition products which would normally only be available at Games venues.

All Team Scotland merchandise will be available in the shop which is one of more than 40 retail units which will operate across the city and in venues.
