POLICE have issued a statement as the queue to visit Scotland's first Popeyes restaurant has caused congestion.
The chicken chain restaurant opened its doors in Barrhead on Monday, with reports of people queuing outside for up to 18 hours for its official opening.
Users on Twitter, formerly known as X, have expressed excitement at the new restaurant opening.
@Popeyes is opening in Glasgow this Monday and it's now the most important thing in my life. I need to check out just how spicy this spicy chicken sandwich is.

Barrhead News spoke to one man who camped outside the restaurant so that he would be the first customer and win free chicken sandwiches for a year.
