After two days of toil between 28 nations competing in the 22nd Men's World Team Squash Championship in Denmark, Scotland recorded the only significant upset when they beat ninth seeds India in the qualifying rounds of the World Squash Federation event at the Squash Center Denmark in the city of Odense.
Seeded outside the top 16 and featuring a squad each ranked below their equivalent opponents, Scotland went into the tie led by Alan Clyne, the world No83 from Edinburgh, who beat India's Ritwik Bhattacharya - ranked almost 20 places higher - 11-7, 11-4, 11-5.
The British side sealed victory when unranked Chris Small, a 31-year-old from Dunfermline, beat Gaurav Nandrajog 11-8, 11-9, 11-5. The Scots celebrated a 3/0 win when squad number two, the world No 132 from Edinburgh, beat Harinder Pal Sandhu, from Chennai, 12-10, 11-4, 11-6.
India restored some pride later in Pool H by beating outsiders Venezuela 3/0, while Scotland went down 3/0 to Pool favourites Italy, the eighth seeds.
Defending champions England scored straightforward 3/0 wins over Japan and Austria in Pool B, while event favourites Egypt were also untroubled against Hong Kong and Kuwait.
