A man appeared in court just one day before he was due to be released from jail.

Daniel MacAlister appeared in Glasgow Sheriff Court last week after he pleaded guilty to breaking his curfew by not staying at home between the hours of 7pm and 7am on October 30, 2025.

The Shettleston resident was led into the dock from custody to be sentenced by Sheriff Patricia Pryce.

His lawyer said: "The facts largely speak for themselves. He is due to be released from jail tomorrow."

Sheriff Pryce reiterated: "I understand you are due to be released tomorrow."

The 31-year-old was tagged for six weeks, forcing him to stay at home between 9.30pm and 9.30am each day.
