GLASGOW is set for a full city closure on Friday as protest routes have been revealed with multiple streets shut for the march.

More than 20 roads were closed at 9am for Friday's COP26 protest as route confirmation is revealed for the largest climate demonstration so far.

A 'Fridays for Future' march will take place, starting in Kelvingrove Park and travelling through the city towards George Square.

The march is set to get under way at 11am.

The route will see activists start inside Kelvingrove Park and advance down Kelvin Way. From there, they will march down Sauchiehall Street, onto St Vincent Street, turn left on to Pitt Street and continue down West George Street towards George Square where a rally is set to take place.
