A MAN has appeared in court accused of several wilful fire-raising offences in Glasgow's Southside.

Adam Martin is charged with seven wilful fire-raising crimes as well as threatening and abusive behaviour. 

It comes after we reported that several cars had been set alight in Penilee in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Martin made no plea when he appeared in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday. 

The 20-year-old was committed for further examination and was released on bail.

His next court appearance is to be confirmed.

Note: Police previously revealed that they had arrested and charged a 19-year-old in connection with the fire-raising offences but this was later confirmed to be a 20-year-old.
