The final, scheduled for 19:07 BST, features Australia's 2023 world champion and top qualifier Sam Short, Northern Ireland's 800m Olympic champion Daniel Wiffen, defending champion Elijah Winnington, along with James Guy and Jack McMillan who represent medal prospects for England and Northern Ireland.

McCann, involved in the Scottish Swimming programme since his teenage years, will also take part in the 800m and 1500m freestyle events later in the competition.

He placed third in the 800m freestyle and fourth in the 1500m at the British Championships earlier this year.

McCann had previously taken part in the 2024 Championships, which served as Team GB's Olympic trials.

After his heat on Saturday, he shared that the Olympics remain his main target.

"The Olympics is always that step even further," he said.

"Being able to represent Scotland is a good stepping stone on the way to that. Hopefully a couple more years work I will be in the mix for the Olympics."

His move to the senior Commonwealth Games follows his appearance for Scotland at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago.

There he came fifth in the 400m freestyle and seventh in the 1,500m freestyle.

He also competed for Great Britain at the 2025 European Open Water Championships in Croatia.
