LINE OF Duty star Martin Compston knows a thing or two about rules. Now, he's reminding Glaswegians to follow new guidelines to stop the spread of Covid-19.
The Celtic-daft actor has shared a message on behalf of his "friends in the NHS" to tell us why we all need to stick by restrictions.
From today, a string of new measures have been brought in to slow the spread of the virus across Scotland with Greater Glasgow one of five health boards hit by the strictest rules.

This includes the closure of all pubs and restuarants from 6pm tonight and a ban on all adult sport, excluding the professional game.
In a video shared by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Compston said: "Just a wee message on behalf of some friends in the NHS.
"I can fully sympathise; at the moment it feels like the rules are changing every day in location, location, but something that has never changed are the basic guidelines.

"Wash your hands, wear a mask, and social distance.
"I know it feels like things are being drummed over and over, and are losing all meaning, but they really do make a difference and go a long way to helping those on the frontline."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
