A bus has been "extensively damaged" and a dozen passengers were evacuated after a blaze ripped through the top deck in Mosspark.
The bus stopped in Corkerhill Road at the junction with Braidcraft Road at around 10.05pm yesterday (March 2) when it became apparent an inferno had broke out.
Police Scotland believe the fire was started deliberately and are appealing for more information.

The force is looking to trace three young people - aged 15 to 18 years - who got on the bus at Silverburn Shopping Centre and left the bus at Corkerhill Road just after the Braidcraft Road roundabout.
One is described as being around 5ft 7 inches tall, with short shaved dark hair, wearing a dark top and grey jogging bottoms. The second one is described as being around 5ft 9 inches tall, of medium build, with short dark hair, with curls at the front. He was wearing a dark top.
The third is described as being of thin build, wearing a dark hooded top with the hood up.
Detective Inspector William Downie of Govan CID said: “The bus has been extensively damaged and 12 passengers were evacuated. This reckless conduct could have had more serious consequences for those people.
“We are also keen to trace some of the passengers who had left before police arrival.
“We are checking local CCTV, and asking if anyone has any information to contact us via 101 quoting reference number 3740 of 2 March, 2023.”
