Drivers have been calling Clyde 1 reporting traffic light failures across Glasgow this morning.

Traffic officials tell us they believe the issue was caused by a problem with the power supply across the city at 04.51.

Most of the lights came back on immediately but they say there is a large number which are still out.

The only solution will be for staff to go out to the locations to reset the lights manually which could take a number hours.
