Witness and Evening Times Camera Club member at the scene, Alisdair Woodburn, said online: “Spectacular car fire in the Gorbals tonight. Great response from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland. Both dealt with it quickly and safely.”
He later added: “Ironic that I spend all week looking for photo opportunities and this happens outside my house.”
The Evening Times has also contacted Police Scotland for further comment.
