A massive fire has ripped through a warehouse just off the M8 in Glasgow

The Scottish Fire and Rescue service was alerted to the fire at 3.44am on Thursday morning. 

More than 40 fire fighters raced to the scene to battle flames.

Crews remain on the scene.

One worker, who didn't want to be named, said the fire took hold rapidly.

He said: "One minute we were working away quite the thing and then all off a sudden there was this massive blaze that scared the s**t out of us.

"Guys were just shouting fire, fire and we all ran to get away.

"Thankfully nobody was hurt."

There are restrictions of on the M8 due to low visability from the smoke and road closures around the warehouse on on Blochairn Road.
