A bomb found in a Glasgow river, reported to have been a grenade, has been removed by specialist cops.

The bomb squad officers were called to a report of an ordnance found in the River Clyde at Dalmarnock bridge in Glasgow's East End, Glasgow Live reports.

A police cordon and diversions were put in place to let experts examine the area with the busy road closed.

Emergency crews raced to the scene at around 12.40pm as the suspected bomb was seen in the water.
