Last updated 7th May 2021
Nicola Sturgeon's SNP have retained all four constituency seats declared in Glasgow so far.
The First Minister held onto her own Glasgow Southside seat, with Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf retaining Glasgow Pollok.
Also staying yellow is Maryhill and Springburn, who've chosen to keep Bob Doris as their MSP and Anniesland, where Bill Kidd retains.
Sturgeon vs Sarwar
Nicola Sturgeon was re-elected in Glasgow Southside, where she went up against Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.
The First Minister won 19,735 votes, compared to Mr Sarwar’s 10,279 – a majority of 9,456.
He now hopes to be elected as a regional list MSP on Saturday.
Far-right groups cause disruption
A candidate was escorted from the premises after apparently making a beeline for Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf and making what appeared to be nazi salutes inside and outside the venue.
Deek Jackson of the Liberal Party was asked to leave by police.
It follows an altercation between First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and another far right activist and convicted racist Jayden Franden yesterday.
They were both standing against Nicola Sturgeon in the Glasgow Southside constituency, but only won a couple of hundred votes between them.
Mr Yousaf retained his Glasgow Pollok seat and spoke to us about the incident:
More to come tomorrow
Still to be declared tomorrow are Glasgow Kelvin, where Green co-leader Patrick Harvey hopes to be elected.
We're also waiting on the results for Cathcart, Provan and Shettleston.
Also to be declared tomorrow is the regional list votes.
