A Team Scotland spokesman said: “Commonwealth Games Scotland condemns in the strongest possible terms the abhorrent online abuse aimed at the models who featured in our Ceremonies Outfit reveal this week.
“Discrimination has no place in sport or society, and we will continue to stand alongside anyone subjected to such comments.
“Adam and Victoria have our full and ongoing support.”
Adam, the male model in the photos, wrote on Instagram: “I did not expect this amount of blatant hate and racism.
“I was honoured to have landed the job as the model for the launch of the ceremonial Commonwealth Games outfit of my home country and host nation.”
He said he was saddened by the comments which he did not believe were representative of Scottish society.
“I take pride in being from Scotland,” he said. “And take pride in the kind, warm and open-minded nature of the people.
“However, it’s clear we still have a long way to go.
“If your family, colleagues friends are racist, be the one to break the chain for posterity.
“Please continue to be actively anti-racist in your day-to-day life.”
