A medal is "within the capabilities" of Team Scotland's mixed 4x400 metre relay athletics team.
That's the belief of Pitreavie AAC's Rebecca Grieve, who will go for glory in Glasgow alongside club-mate, Nicole Yeargin, Brodie Young and Bradley Francis.
The 21-year-old, who is also a student at the University of New Mexico in the United States, will make her Games debut, whilst Yeargin is taking part in the competition for a second time.
Yeargin is also running in the individual 400m, won women's 4x400m relay bronze with Scotland in Birmingham four years ago, after which she won women's and mixed 4x400m bronze medals with Great Britain at the Paris Olympic Games of 2024.
Additionally, Young, who is also running in the men's 400m, won European Under-23 Championship bronze in that event, and set a new Scottish indoor record over the distance, whilst Francis is a national champion 400m hurdler.
"We've definitely got a really strong team," Grieve told Press Sport.
"We've got Nicole Yeargin, who is a great athlete. We've got Brodie Young, who is also one of the fastest Scotland guys ever, and then Bradley Francis, another really good 400 metre runner.
"It's a great team. We're all going to push as hard as we can. I mean, that's the good thing about being Scottish. I feel like we have an extra gear, and then the benefit of the home crowd.
"I'd definitely say it's within our capabilities to get a medal but, obviously, we're also against really fast teams as well.
"But we're going to do our best."
Ahead of the Games, Grieve last month reached the 400m final at the UK Athletics Championships, finishing seventh, three spots behind Yeargin.
Those two athletes also ran in a race at London's Diamond League meeting, with Yeargin placing third, and Grieve fifth.
Despite delays in travelling back from America for the former, she was happy with her performance, and is hopeful of making a case for selection for next month's European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
Whilst she relishes competing in the relays, Grieve admitted to being disappointed not to be selected for the individual event in Glasgow.
"You're only as fast as your competition, some people say, so being in that environment, it's going to get the best out of everyone in the team," she said.
"I was definitely disappointed I didn't get the individual, because I ran the standard, but Great Britain as a nation don't count altitude times, other countries do.
"It was a little bit annoying, and I was hoping to get it outdoors. I got really close - 51.78, which is just outside of it - and then the rest of my races just didn't really go my way.
"I was a little bit disappointed, but I'm still going to give it my all for the mixed 4x400 because I love relays, just as much as I love individual events.
"Putting a baton in my hand, it's a different person."
Her lead coach, the former Pitreavie athlete Francis Smith, said: "It's a great team of four athletes together for that mixed relay, and they've got an outside chance of a bronze medal, at least.
"I think the four athletes that go on that track, in Glasgow, will give everything to try and get that medal, and I think they've got a great chance of it.
"There'll be fuel in Rebecca's belly, and she's determined.
"One little setback and not getting that selection...the next time she goes on that track, she'll be going out to prove to them that she should've got that selection.
"It's not just about coach, athlete, it's about the whole team around her."
