Canon Tom White has called for Glasgow City Council to re-route marches away from two churches in the Calton area of Glasgow.

A priest who was spat on and threatened as he greeted parishioners has slammed Glasgow City Council for allowing a loyalist march to pass his church. The Bridegton Apprentice Boys of Derry have been granted permission for a procession on Sunday, November 10, that will take place in the street outside St Mary's and St Alphonsus churches in the Calton area.

Nor, can it have been by looking at the historical divisions caused by them either. 'The council are driving Glasgow into the ground. You just have to look at the dirty streets in the city-centre, and this is another stink they have created by allowing this march to pass churches in the Calton again. 'Glasgow gets this reputation for bigotry but it isn't fair. People come from all across Scotland to attend these marches so the council are letting people down by hosting them.
