A selection of First Glasgow bus services were almost diverted today after cones were allegedly ill-placed by 'pranksters'.

First Glasgow wrote on X earlier today that services 1, 2, 21, 240, 255, 263, 267, 6, 60, 60A, 61, 7 ,75,7A and X4, would be diverted via Jamaica Street, Clyde Street and Stockwell Street due to crane works along Argyle Street.

However, the bus giants later stated that it was just a 'false alarm' and that cones were placed along the street, by jokesters.

"Cones had been placed out by pranksters - services will resume normal route."

Services on the aforementioned services will run as normal.
