Armed police have been seen on the streets of Rutherglen and Toryglen in response to sightings of a man with a weapon in the area.
Armed response cars and a helicopter were spotted around the Prospecthill Circus area earlier this morning.
Social media posts speculated that police were seen around a nursery in the area, as well as a local sports camp.
