Emergency services are tackling a fire in a tenement building in Glasgow's south side.

Flames can be seen tearing through the building on Albert Drive, with around four fire appliances on the scene.

The road has been cordoned off by police, and traffic is currently being diverted.

Images and reports from the scene suggest the roof of the building has caved in.
