A major retailer is set to enter administration, putting the future of its more than 1,800 staff at risk.
Carpetright has filed a notice of intent to appoint administrators.
It is understood that experts from PwC are set to be appointed as part of the process, who will seek to find emergency funding or a rescue buyer for the troubled business.
Once a notice of intent to appoint administrators is filed, it gives companies around 10 days in which it can attempt to avoid insolvency.
The company operates 272 stores across the UK which are continuing to trade as normal.
Carpetright has a store based in Glasgow's Great Western Retail Park in the West End, while another is located in Strathkelvin Retail Park, Low Moss, Bishopbriggs.
Carpetright, which is owned by Nestware Holdings, has suffered from weaker demand for carpets as homeowners shifted towards hard flooring as well as a major cyberattack in April which halted trading.
