A Glasgow nightclub has lost its licence for a year after staff were allegedly caught taking drugs during a booze binge.
The Sunday Mail claims riot police had to smash down the doors of Club Reina in Hope Street after neighbours complained the building was shaking because of the noise.

Footage from inside the club is understood to have filmed the lock-in and was shown to the licensing board.
It's understood to show some employees taking drugs.
A police expert witness who viewed the CCTV said: “In my view, this is demonstration of open cocaine use. The drug is being shared between some of those present with no attempt to be discreet.
“This openness continues when three other people arrive in the bar area. Different camera angles clearly show the white powder in open view on the bar area and members of the group snorting lines from it.”
A criminal investigation is now underway.
