IT has been closed for three weeks but a clothing store near Glasgow is set to make up for lost time...by opening for 36 hours. 

Christmas shoppers will have access to Primark's intu Braehead branch from 9am on Friday, December 11, until 9pm on Saturday, December 12.

The budget clothing giant's three Glasgow stores are due to open from 8am on the same day.

The move comes after the Scottish Government lifted strict Tier 4 restrictions across the country.

However, non-essential travel is still banned between Tier 3 areas, meaning Glaswegians won't be allowed to shop at intu Braehead in Renfrewshire. 

Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said: “We are delighted to re-open all of our stores in Scotland on December 11, with longer shopping hours to give our customers more time to safely do their festive shopping.
