Fifteen people taken to hospital after 'wilful' fire in Glasgow

Fifteen people have been taken to hospital after a fire suspected to have been lit deliberately in Glasgow.

Emergency services were called to the property on Copland Road, near Ibrox Stadium in the city's southside, at around 5.20pm on Friday.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service deployed four appliances to tackle the blaze, which was on the ground floor of a four-storey building near the Rangers FC home ground.

Firefighters said on Friday that they were dealing with "multiple casualties".

Police said 15 people were taken to hospital for treatment as a precaution.
