    New PB of 1:44.18 tonight, but more importantly my first proper international 800m win. Can I pass for an 800 guy now? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    5th in the World and a Scottish record 😱 Couldn’t have given it anymore tonight, but to be within touching distance has already got me excited for next year. Highlight of it all was being alongside these lads through it all, and I hope we’ve done everyone proud.

    Buzzing to be able to say I’ve been nominated for BBC Sports Personality this year. A show I’ve watched every year since I can remember, so a huge dream ticked off. . Catch the main event tomorrow night, 18:45 on the BBC 📺

    WHAT A NIGHT! If someone had told me I’d finish 2018 with two championship medals I definitely wouldn’t have believed them, so feeling very grateful. Thanks very much for all the kind messages so far. No sleep tonight 😳

    All an absolute blur but so happy to be taking some metal back in my suitcase 🥉 Huge thanks to @scotathletics for the unreal support here. Most of this medal belongs to @WightmanGeoff though. He’s the head, I’m just the legs. Thanks for everyone’s messages, will get back soon.

    Delighted to tick off a bucket list win, on one of the most famous streets in the world. 2018 has been a good one to me, but I’m glad time this long season can now come to an end 😴
