Fire crews have left the scene of a blaze in a derelict building in Glasgow which began burning on Tuesday evening.
Nine fire engines and more than 40 firefighters were sent to the blaze in Kilmarnock Road, in the Shawlands area of the city.
The road was been cordoned off in both directions and drivers were being advised to seek an alternative route between Pollokshaws Road and Coustonholm Road.
The fire broke out in a buiilding which has been disused for some time, and was also formerly the Rosco Nightclub.
One appliance remained at the scene this morning, departing just after 9am.
