Police have said they are treating a fire which started in a derelict Glasgow nightclub as deliberate.

The fire was reported at the former Jumpin' Jaks on Sauchiehall Street at around 1:30am on Tuesday, September 1.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said it mobilised nine appliances, one height appliance and three specialist resources to the scene.

Dalhousie Street was closed between Renfrew Street and Sauchiehall Street but has since reopened.

In a statement released on Tuesday evening, Police Scotland said: "Roads closed due to a fire at a derelict building on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow have been reopened.

"The fire was reported around 2am on Tuesday, 1 September, 2026 and is being treated as wilful.

"There are no reported injuries and enquiries are ongoing."

The adjacent 02 ABC suffered extensive, severe damage during the catastrophic fire that spread from the Glasgow School of Art's Mackintosh Building in 2018. It has since been largely demolished.

The official investigation into the 2018 fire, which took more than three years, concluded that the cause was undetermined. The report said accidental ignition by something like a cigarette could not be fully ruled out as well as wilful fireraising or an electrical failure.
