Waterloo Road and Scottish soap River City will air storylines connected to next summer's Commonwealth Games.

The shows' characters will get involved in Glasgow 2014 as part of BBC Scotland's coverage of the international sporting event, Scotland on Sunday reports.

Christopher Aird, head of drama at BBC Scotland, said: "We will pick up the Commonwealth Games more directly in River City and Waterloo Road.

"It is all up in the air at the moment, but I'm sure we will have at least one storyline that ties more directly to the Commonwealth Games in those shows."

He added: "Next year is clearly a massive year up here and all eyes are going to be on Scotland."
