A Labour MSP has complained to Police Scotland after he was sent an image of a hangman's noose and gallows.

Anas Sarwar, who represents Glasgow in the Scottish Parliament, said he has been sent the image a number of times.

In a Facebook post to his supporters, he stated the threatening image makes him "more determined" to continue his work in politics.

The image was sent to the MSP on Twitter on Thursday.

In a tweet with the image attached, a user stated: "28 days until the electorate pull the trapdoor on your councils."

A spokesman for the Labour politician said: "Mr Sarwar has reported this to police and will not be making any further comment."

Police Scotland said: "Police Scotland can confirm that on Thursday April 6, 2017, officers received a report of offensive online communications. Enquiries are continuing."
