A ninth body was recovered today from the rubble of a Glasgow plastics factory explosion, police said.

The discovery was made at around 11.45am by rescue workers searching the site of the Stockline plant which was destroyed by a blast on Tuesday.

Chief superintendent David Christie said: "I regret to advise you that the body of a man has just been recovered from the incident site."

The search of the rubble will continue but emergency workers said they do not expect to find any more casualties.
