Nine people have been rescued from a tenement flat blaze.

Firefighters removed residents from a four-storey block in Glasgow's Govan area earlier today.

Crews were called to the blaze at a tenement in Uist Street shortly before 11am.

A man and woman have been taken to Southern General Hospital suffering from severe smoke inhalation, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said.

Five others, including a young girl, were treated at the scene for mild effects of smoke inhalation and taken to hospital as a precaution.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is under way.
