An Ayrshire bowler has been kicked off the Scotland Commonwealth Games team for posting allegedly racist remarks on social media.
Para bowler Garry Hood has been left out of the Scotland bowls team vying for medals in Birmingham — after posting controversial remarks about Prime Minister hopeful Rishi Sunak and Scottish health secretary, Humza Yousaf.
Hood, 61, from Mauchline, who plays for Ayr Craigie Bowling Club, posted a message about the two politicians on his Facebook page, followed by an angry emoji.
