Meanwhile there were reports of alleged electoral fraud in Stirling.

And there were also suggestions of three cases in Glasgow - with alleged personation in Central, North and South areas of the city.

We told you earlier how Nicola Sturgeon says it'll be a "good night" for the SNP - as she brands the exit poll Tory landslide as "grim" for the rest of the UK.

The Conservatives look set to gain 50 seats and form a majority government with Labour losing a massive 71 seats across the country.

And incredibly, the SNP are on track to win 55 of the 59 constituencies in Scotland - up from 35 in 2017.
