Fire crews remain at Glasgow east end recycling centre four days after blaze as roads reopened

Fire crews remain at the scene of a fire at a recycling centre in the east end, more than four days after they were initially called to the blaze.

Smoke from the Nuneaton Street fire has billowed around the surrounding area for days and a number of roads in the area were closed as a result.

Police Scotland have now confirmed that London Road has now been opened east and west, and The Clyde Gateway is open north and south, but Nuneaton Street remains closed.

Drone footage, taken this morning at 10am, shows fire crews hard at work managing the fire, which seems to have destroyed one of the sides of the centre as well as significant damage to the roof.

Fans attending today's Scottish Cup fixture between Celtic and St Mirren have been warned to plan ahead due to the road closures, with Parkhead almost directly across from the recycling centre.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We continue to support the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as it manages the fire in Nuneaton Street, Glasgow.

"As a result, some local road closures remain in place.

"London Road has now been opened east and west, and The Clyde Gateway is open north and south.

"We understand the road closures will be impacting on the local community and we appreciate their co-operation.

"Please plan your routes accordingly."
