Left-wing campaigners are to protest at a rally led by the Scottish Defence League in support of Tommy Robinson next weekend.

Unite Against Fascism are calling upon supporters to join them in a counter-demonstration facing off the fascist group in George Square on Saturday July 21.

The SDL are demonstrating against the imprisonment of the far-right figure on charges of contempt of court.

The group are also calling on the police and council to take 'more action' over 'grooming gangs' they say are targeting kids in Glasgow.

Anti-racism campaigners argue the SDL are seeking to use Islamophobia to mobilise the far-right movement in Scotland.

An event page reads: "The scale of the far right’s turnout and the vile, violent racism informing it must be seen by everyone on the Left as an urgent wake-up call.
