The army of volunteers enlisted to help during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be known as Clyde-siders.

Organiser Glasgow 2014 said the title would be given to 15,000 people who had been chosen to help out from a total of 50,811 who had offered their services.

Successful applicants for Clyde-siders positions will begin hearing about their offers from Monday.

The 11-day games, which begin on 23 July 2014, will see 4,500 athletes compete in 17 sports across 14 venues.
