Police have launched a murder probe after a man died after a late-night hit-and-run in Rutherglen.

The 27-year-old was deliberately struck by a white Ford transit van while walking with a man and a woman on Burnhill Street, Rutherglen at around 1:50am this morning. He was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he later died.

The other man and woman were uninjured but both are "extremely distressed" by what has happened.

There are also reports of forensic officers being present in the area.
