The Inverness Squash Club athletes will join up with Giffnock's Stuart George and Perth's Rory Stewart to represent their country in Washington DC on December 15.

Lobban (27) from North Kessock leads the side as top ranked Scot as world number 29 and goes into the event in great form having recently won the Cleveland Skating Club Open and HKFC International in Hong Kong.

Clyne (33) from Munlochy and world number 39, partnered Lobban to win world doubles gold in Australia in 2016.

He said it is always an honour to represent his country.

“I love playing for Scotland and also love playing tournaments in the USA so it should be a great event.

“The people are always really friendly in America and I imagine it will be the same in Washington D.C.

“I’ve never actually been to Washington but the club is supposed to be really nice and they tend to put on a great show in the States.

“We have a strong team and I’m looking forward to it.”

The four men were part of the Scotland team which won bronze at the European Championships in May.
