An anti-fascism demonstration planned for Glasgow city centre will clash with a men's 10k race on the same day.

The event on Sunday, June 18, being organised by the Anti-Fascist Resistance, has not yet sought council approval, unlike the men's 10k.

Groups planning to hold a public procession only require 28 days' notice, giving them until Sunday, May 21, to apply.

The demonstration is being run by Red Front Republic, a group which claims to be "Scotland's anti-fascism, racism and bigotry movement" and "pro-Scottish Independence".

More than 60 people have confirmed on a Facebook page they will be attending, with at least 140 others interested.

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: "We have not received any requests to hold a public procession on June 18."

The men's 10K is one of two events are already planned for George Square on that date, with the whole east side closed off as the run's finish line.

The whole of George Square's west side will be fenced off in addition to the runners finishing on the east.

Numerous road closures will also be in place across the city centre for the runners.

A second event already in the diary for George Square that weekend is Restaurant in the Sky.

It is the final of a four-day pop-up event which will see 22 customers fastened into seats around a table before being raised 100ft into the air.

The demonstration has also drawn controversy after an online flyer, with an earlier date of June 4, was shared by the Scottish Defence League Lanarkshire Division.

In its post the SDL encouraged members to go to George Square and counter-protest.

The comment read: "Got to laugh anti bigotry movement but they support the ira get down there and show these crackpots there no welcome".

Police Scotland also confirmed they have not been made aware of the anti-fascism demo.

A spokeswoman said: "We are unaware of any event of the type you described being arranged for that date at this time.

"However, Police Scotland, where information becomes available, will review a public space event, especially where there is potential for community tension in order to ensure the safety of those involved and members of the public."
