Wetherspoons just outside Glasgow among UK closures

JD Wetherspoons has announced plans to axe 16 of its renowned pubs, with a branch just outside Glasgow set to be one of the closures.

The Vulcan in Coatbridge is one of four Scottish pubs that Wetherspoons is giving the axe.

As it currently stands, all pubs are open for bids - and will continue trading as normal. However, if sold, they will mostly likely be rebranded with a new name, menu and prices, as reported by the Mirror .

Wetherspoon hasn't been able to confirm if it has any potential buyers lined up or why it's chosen to flog these 16 outlets.

The pub has also been calling time on European drinks for more than a year over its owner's hard-line stance on leaving the EU.

Boss - Tim Martin - has been sticking to a promise to sell more UK and non-EU brands as Britain prepares to break away.
