But 24 hours on, the Saltire-swaddled pair bounded around the Glasgow International Arena again belting out ‘No Scotland, No Party’ with a medal each around their necks after a tense pommel horse competition.That Ward added silver to Sunday’s gold was no great surprise – this is, after all, considered his strongest discipline – but not many expected Lynn to join him on the podium. Not least the 23-year-old himself.The Stirling native was the sixth to go in the eight-man competition. Jordan Carroll of Canada had already posted a mark that would ultimately earn him gold – with Ward falling just short immediately after him – when Lynn had his shot at itAnd on the big occasion – an occasion in which the Scot was clearly revelling – he delivered one of his best ever routines to move into third, just one place behind his team-mate.
