Firefighters have spent a second night at the scene of a major blaze at a scrapyard in Glasgow.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said the alarm was raised at the business on South Street, in the Scotstoun area of the city, at about 23:23 on Friday.

One local resident captured dramatic footage of the fire at its peak, with explosive bangs emitting from an area engulfed in flames.

Nine fire engines, two high-reach vehicles and specialist resources responded to the incident. No casualties were reported.
