Police in Glasgow have been alerted to a possible fraudulent vote.

They will investigate suspicions that someone entered a polling station in the Glasgow East constituency and crossed a ballot paper under another person's name.

The presiding officer informed authorities earlier today and counting staff will be on the lookout for the paper in question when the box arrives at the Emirates Arena count.

They will wear blue gloves to locate the paper, which will be counted and sealed in a bag before being handed to police, Glasgow City Council said.
