Christmas shoppers have taken advantage of the last few days to get their shopping in before Glasgow enters level four restrictions. 

This Boxing Day will be unlike any other as non-essential retail, pubs, bars and restaurants will be forced to close. 

Level four restrictions will last for three weeks in an effort to prevent the spread of a new Covid-19 strain.
