Scottish Labour has released the Glasgow candidates for its regional lists ahead of the 2016 election.
Voting will take place throughout January, with the final rankings on each list announced in February.
Scottish Labour have taken a 50:50 gender split in their regional lists.
Leader Kezia Dugdale said: “This is one of the most diverse shortlists of candidates that Scottish Labour has ever offered.
“At least half of our new Holyrood candidates next year will be women – and this shortlist takes us a step closer to a 50:50 Parliament. Our Parliament should look like the communities we seek to serve, and we will lead the way in making sure that women across Scotland have a voice.
“We want candidates next year who reflect modern Scotland and demonstrate to people that the Scottish Labour Party offers not just new faces, but new ideas to take our county forward. These candidates are drawn from every walk of life and many professions – charity workers, campaigners, lawyers, business people, office workers, creatives and trade unionists can all be found on this list.
