The Emirates Arena in Glasgow has been evacuated as firefighters investigate a "chemical smell".

The £113m sports complex, a major venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, has been closed as a precautionary measure.

Firefighters have been receiving reports since Wednesday evening of an odour in Dalmarnock.

At around 6.45pm on Wednesday, fire crews were called to Swanston Street, where they flushed sewers and still remain at the scene.

They also attended a commercial premise on London Road at around 10.50am on Thursday, where firefighters evacuated the building before ventilating it.

A short time later, crews were called to the Emirates, also on London Road.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "The arena was evacuated as a precautionary measure at 11.25am.

"Firefighters remain at the scene to make the area safe."
