John Swinney said he was “regularly monitoring the data” on incidents in the run-up to November 5 after disorder in recent years.

Firework control zones (FCZ) have been issued in Glasgow for the first time.

Within the three zones - Pollokshields, Govanhill and Broomhouse - it is a criminal offence for a member of the public to set off a firework until November 10.

It includes private spaces such as back gardens and public areas, though sparklers are allowed.

Anyone found breaching the law could face up to six months in jail and a fine of up to £5000.
