Excitement on the streets of Glasgow is brewing as filming for the Fast And Furious spin-off Hobbs vs Shaw continues.

Hollywood arrived in Scotland for the latest instalment in the franchise – starring Jason Statham and Dwayne The Rock Johnson – leading to a number of roads in the city being closed.

Pictures show onlookers peering on to the set, as a tense car chase involving a motorcycle and Mclaren sports car is filmed using drones and camera crews.

The film follows an unlikely alliance between Johnsons US Diplomatic Security Agent Luke Hobbs and Stathams Deckard Shaw.

The two characters used to be enemies who came to hold a mutual respect for one another throughout the Fast And Furious franchise; the movie script is written by Chris Morgan, who has worked on the other Fast And Furious movies.
