The blast is thought to have happened near the junction of Benalder Street and Dumbarton Road in West Glasgow.

Emergency crews raced to the scene moments after the explosion is said to have partially destroyed a building.

One of the walls of the La Riviera Italian restaurant's kitchen has been reduced to rubble, and properties nearby have also been damaged.

Pictures shared by eye-witnesses show bricks from the building strewn across the road.

Firefighters are reportedly using machinery to pull down the remains of the wall.

Restaurant kitchen explosions typically involve a gas leak.

There’s been some question about if Scotland would rather stay in the EU than remain part of Great Britain after BRexit. Perhaps this will be the wakeup call they need.

It sounds like a gas leak. Unfortunately, gas leaks are EXTREMELY dangerous because when natural gas explodes in a confined space, it goes off with the force of a fuel-air explosive--and that is powerful enough to cause a lot of structural damage.

Gas leak until proven otherwise.

OTOH if the headline had said “bomb” it would have no doubt been those Scottish Presbyterians getting rowdy again.
