2012 gets going for Britain's Andy Turner in Glasgow

| European 110m hurdles champion Andy Turner of Great Britain. |
Turner also won a bronze medal at last summer's World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, and the 31-year-old has just returned from a spell of warm weather training in Orlando, Florida.
"It's really exciting that we've finally made it to 2012. It's a really important year on the calendar but there's a lot of work still to do before the Olympics.
"Bronze at the World Championships was a great achievement but it's not enough to carry me through until the Olympics, I have to keep pushing and keep striving for that edge.
“I'm feeling really positive about the year ahead, I've had a great winter of training and feel strong coming into the indoor season.
"If I can get a good couple of results under my belt early on in the season it will show I'm on the right track and set up a really good year; 2012 is a huge year and I'm doing everything I can to prepare for it, but you can't let the Olympics take over.
"The whole country has gone mad for the Olympics but right now I'm all about Glasgow and starting my year on the best note I can," added Turner, who is also looking to reduce his four-year-old 60m hurdles indoor best time of 7.55 in the next two months.
The Aviva International Match features a Great Britain and Northern Ireland team competing against teams from the United States, Germany, Russia and a Commonwealth Select squad.
