Concertgoers heading to Hampden Park for Metallica’s sold-out Glasgow show are being urged to plan ahead after a major road closure was put in place near the stadium due to an emergency utility failure.
Menock Road has been shut between Aikenhead Road and Carmunnock Road following a Scottish Power high-voltage cable issue.
The closure is expected to remain in place while engineers assess and repair the fault.

The band’s return marks their first performance in Scotland since 2017, and one of only three UK dates on the current tour.
