Eco-protesters have smashed the windows of a Glasgow bank as they demand Barclays cut its ties with fossil fuel firms.

Wearing safety goggles and Kevlar gloves, the Extinction Rebellion protesters broke the glass of the bank’s Clyde Place Quay branch ahead of a demonstration outside the company’s outlet later on Monday.
