MELROSE winger Mark Robertson has taken a silver medal in Rio.

Team GB's Rugy Sevens squad made it all the way to the final but were beaten 43-7 in the final last night by Fiji.

And the team can take great pride in finishing second in the first sevens final in the Olympic Games. 

Following the success, sportscotland’s Chief Executive Stewart Harris said: "It was a terrific achievement for Team GB to reach the final of the first Olympic Rugby 7s competition here in Rio. Congratulations to all the players, especially the Scots Mark Robertson and Mark Bennett, who made significant contributions in helping the team win the silver medal.

"Well done to Fiji, who were simply outstanding in the final and thoroughly deserved their victory and every accolade coming their way after winning their country’s first ever Olympic medal," he added.

"Day six of the Olympics has been tremendous with Scots winning medals in rowing, canoe slalom, cycling, and rugby 7s. There are another ten days of competition remaining and already Scots have won six medals, only one short of our best ever away Olympic Games medal tally set in Sydney 2000."
