CHANTS of “free Palestine” echoed through the streets of Glasgow as the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) staged its annual St Andrew’s Day celebration on Saturday.

Trade unionists, anti-racism campaign groups and supporters from across Scotland marched through the city and rallied at Strathclyde University, where speakers appealed for support for Palestine and for the eradication of racism.
