Restaurants across Glasgow and beyond are taking a stand against homelessness this Christmas, by providing a free traditional Christmas dinner to those in need.

Anyone who is homeless, lonely or in need of a helping hand will have somewhere to turn tomorrow - that may not involve much travelling.

Places from Lanarkshire to Dalmuir are staying open to make sure no one is left hungry this Christmas Day.

The Clutha Bar at Bridgegate in Glasgow is just one of the few places opening its doors.

Owner Alan Crossan said: "If Glasgow pulls together and does something like this, we might get rid of it.

"Glasgow was brilliant after the Clutha accident - they all pulled together and they helped and helped and helped.

"If we can do that, let's get rid of this for 2020 and get rid of the homeless issue we've got."

Alan will be helping to serve food and provide entertainment on Christmas Day.
