Funding could be used to ease some of the most severe cuts in the city, including those in education and social work.
Glasgow has received an additional £7.4 million from the Scottish Government after it agreed to provide extra cash following a row over a council tax freeze.
It could help ease cuts in education — where 450 teacher positions are at risk over three years — or social work. He said: “There was £45m health and social care consequentials and there was £17.7m for an additional incentive for the council tax freeze, to get those councils over the line who were swithering on it.
He said he had received a letter from the chairperson of Glasgow’s Integration Joint Board, which directs health and social care services, highlighting “some of their pressures” and he is also “very conscious of the pressure in education and other services”.
