The director of the new Indiana Jones sequel has been spotted on the streets of Glasgow ahead of filming. 

James Mangold has been pictured walking through the city centre after streets were transformed into 1960s Manhattan for the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones series. 

The Oscar-nominated director is well-known for his work on Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, as well as X-men films The Wolverine and Logan.

The sighting of the director appears to be the first confirmation that the set will be used for the Indiana Jones picture, with casting directors previously mysteriously referring to the production as "a major Disney feature film."

Excitement is high in the city with Glaswegians hoping to catch a glimpse of Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford. 

Earlier today, cars and vehicles set to be used in the as-yet-untitled film were spotted near Ibrox Stadium.

It comes after American flags and regalia were hung from buildings on St Vincent's Street and Cochrane Street over the past two weeks. 

The film is set to star Harrison Ford, returning in the lead role, as well as Fleabag's Pheobe Waller-Bridge, and Mads Mikkelson.
