Vandalism appears on new Yoker-Renfrew road bridge
John Shaw, Renfrewshire Council councillor, took to social media to post a photo of a sticker which has appeared on the £117m bridge, which connects Yoker and Clydebank directly to Renfrew.

The sticker is of Brian Limond, better known as Limmy, and his well-loved character Dee Dee.
A picture of Dee Dee appears at the centre of a Saltire and reads 'Les Porter Tartan Army Yoker'.
Councillor John Shaw wrote: "So the first reported vandalism on the bridge and it had to be Dee Dee!
"Thankfully the Renfrew Tartan Army are a quiet, respectful lot who would never think of getting up to such mischief!
"Joking aside though, gonnae no dae that!"
It comes just days after a new mural in tribute to Dee-Dee appeared in Yoker. The mural replaces an existing one sprayed by the same artist.
Glasgow-based artist 'Tef' posted a video of them completing the artwork on the side of a derelict building next to the Yoker Ferry, near to the new Renfrew bridge.

The new bridge will accommodate vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians - as well as opening for passing ships.
The project was led by Renfrewshire Council and funded as part of the £1.13billion Glasgow City Region Deal.
The Renfrew Bridge has been installed on Meadowside Street on the Renfrewshire side and on Dock Street in Clydebank.
