Two teens rushed from TRNSMT festival to hospitals in Glasgow
TWO teenagers were rushed to hospital after taking ill at TRNSMT festival.
Emergency crews raced to Glasgow Green yesterday following concerns for the welfare of the boys, aged 16 and 17.
They were rushed to hospital, but it is unclear what led to them becoming unwell.
One was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, while another was raced to Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'A 16-year-old male youth was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and a 17-year-old male youth was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary after becoming unwell at a festival in Glasgow.
'Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing.'
TRNSMT revellers basked in the sunshine for a second day as Scotland's summer heatwave reached fever pitch yesterday.
Scotland's biggest ever music weekender has coincided with soaring temperatures across most of Scotland.
The wall-to-wall sunshine, with temperatures hitting high 20s and low 30s, led to some music fans struggling to cope in the heat.
They turned out in their thousands to give a raft of top acts including headliners Biffy Clyro, Fontaines D.C, The Kooks and Inhaler the warmest of welcomes last night.
Many fans have already hailed the weekend a success after two days, despite a hiccup when security guards were found to have confiscated some fans' suncream at the site entrance due to a policy regarding bottle sizes and aerosols.
After criticism from parents, the rule was rescinded.
Media and communications graduate Claire Monaghan, 21, from Balloch, was among those giving Saturday's music bill the thumbs up.
She said: 'I've been going to TRNSMT since I was 14. Obviously, it's local so it's good and the Scottish community feeling of everyone being united. Also, the line up is so good. They've managed to hit it out of the park. I love Fontaines D.C. I'd much rather this than be poured on in the rain.'
Guy Dudman, 16, from Dunfermline, went taps-aff with his pals on arrival.
Schoolboy Guy said: 'This is my first festival. I'm looking forward to Fontaines. They're my favourite. It is definitely tops off weather.
'I've got the sunscreen on and I think it's amazing with it being warm and everyone out enjoying the sun. It's brilliant.'
Emma Scott, and Emily Gillespie, both 18, from Dunfermline, enjoyed a spot of sunbathing between sets.
Emma said: 'This is our last year in school. I'm off to do a graduate apprenticeship and we're on our holidays. This is our first time together. I love it. The sun is amazing. I'm going to get a nice tan.'
Emily added: 'I want to see Fontaines and Inhaler and we are mostly going to be at the Boogie bar and definitely the main stage.'
Fine art student Alisa Campbell, 21, arrived on a day trip from Belfast, with pals Alanna McGann, 20, and Claudia Black, 20.
Other acts performing yesterday include Miles Kane who stepped in for Wunderhorse after the group cancelled at the 11th hour due to illness.
Underworld will close the King Tut's stage before Biffy Clyro round up the second day of the festival.

Joining from Barcelona in 2000, the Dutch attacker went on to win all of Scottish football's domestic honours with the Light Blues. His finest campaign as a Gers star came in the 2002/03 season when Alex McLeish's side won the treble. De Boer scored 20 goals in all competitions - the most prolific of his career - to help his team win it all. His 16th and final league goal of the campaign was one of Rangers' six crucial strikes on the final day of the season when they thumped Dunfermline to pip Celtic to the SPL championship. Ronald also briefly played with twin brother Frank at Rangers when the latter joined the Light Blues for the second half of the 2003/04 season. The brothers were previously long time teammates at Ajax and Barca. Away from his football exploits, de Boer, now 55, has four children. That includes four daughters, including 29-year old Demi. While football hasn't become her path in life, she's still forged a successful career in the public eye. Demi is an influencer with more than 140,000 Instagram followers and has a huge presence on TikTok. But now, she's heading well out of her comfort zone. The new Rangers transfer special looks at John Souttar's future, Rangers' defensive search and if it's the end of Nicolas Raskin Demi has confirmed she's part of the cast for the upcoming series of Expiditie Robinson - the Dutch version of worldwide smash-hit series Survivor. In the UK, it aired on ITV for two series between 2001 and 2002 before being revived by the BBC in 2003. That reboot lasted just one series before it was axed. A huge hit across the globe, Survivor has aired in more than 50 countries. The Dutch version has been running for 25 years and regularly pulls in more than a million viewers per episode. Demi shared a picture of herself with the rest of the cast, saying: "Ahhhh! The word is out" The series sees celebrities placed in an isolated location and forced to fend for themselves, finding food and shelter. Demi will be competing alongside several well known Dutch celebrities. These include Olympic sprinter Churandy Martina who represented the Netherlands at the games in 2008 and 2012, also becoming a gold medallist at the European Championships. Greek-Dutch singer Stefania, who competed at the Eurovision Song Contest, is another of the celebrities to feature. 7 Demi is one of several famous faces to be taking part Credit: INSTAGRAM/@DEMIDEBOER 7 Demi has more than 140,000 Instagram followers Credit: INSTAGRAM/@DEMIDEBOER 7 The glam influencer also has a presence on TikTok Credit: INSTAGRAM/@DEMIDEBOER Have YOU got a point for Kris Boyd?

Liam Gallagher's hilarious seven-word comment about Murrayfield Oasis crowds
A Scots Oasis super fan hailed frontman Liam Gallagher 'amazing' after he bumped into him following the band's first two shows in Edinburgh at the weekend A Scots dad who bumped into Liam Gallagher whilst out with his family described the rock star as being "warm and funny". The Oasis frontman was spotted strolling around the grounds of The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder on Sunday. Liam had been taking some much-needed rest after performing two gigs at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium in the capital city. Jonathan Dunn was taking a walk with his two children when he recognised Liam. The Oasis star was joined by his fiancée and manager Debbie Gwyther. Jonathan, together with his children Harrison and Saffie, said Liam was "not in the slightest bit dismissive" and had a proper chat with the family before posing for photos. The dad had attended Murrayfield on Friday, August 8 for Oasis' opening night in Edinburgh. After mentioning his attendance to Liam, the musician responded: "Youse lot are off yer f***in heads." Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to return to the stage at Murrayfield on Tuesday, August 12, for their final Scottish show. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Jonathan revealed: "I live in Auchterarder and went up to Gleneagles yesterday afternoon with my two kids, Harrison, 14, and Saffie, 7. "We were walking on the lawn and I said to Harrison 'I'm sure that's Liam Gallagher over there?' I've been a huge fan for 30 years and seen them countless times over the years, including twice already on this tour. "He was with his fiance and manager Debbie, I asked if I could please bother him for a photo and he couldn't have been more friendly. I told him I was at Murrayfield on Friday and he said, 'Youse lot are off yer f***in heads!'." He continued: "I introduced him to Harrison who said to him, 'Dad took me to Heaton Park a couple of weeks ago, it was insane!' To which he replied, 'it's you lot who are insane, I didn't do anything!' "He then said to Harrison, 'Come on, you get in for a photo too' and gave him a first pump. They say don't meet your heros, well if your hero is Liam Gallagher then I say you absolutely have to! "He was absolutely amazing! Warm, funny, not in the slightest bit dismissive. Shout out to Debbie too." While Liam might think the Edinburgh crowds are 'off their heads', he remains seething with the local council and is 'still waiting for an apology' over a report which suggested the band's fans would be "rowdy" and "intoxicated". While on stage on Friday at their first show, the musician ranted: "One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f*****g s***s. "£1 billion pounds we're bringing to this city over the next three days. £1billion. But you won't see any of it."
