A yellow warning for more thunderstorms remains in place for most of Scotland with downpours causing congestion on several major routes.

Traffic Scotland had warned of delays on the M77, M8 and A74, with flooded roads in parts of Glasgow city centre and Cardonald.

On Saturday, torrential rain closed railway lines and flooded streets.

Network Rail said there was 5ft (1.5m) of floodwater in the twin tunnels at Dalmuir, north west of Glasgow.

The line has since reopened after pumps were used to get rid of Saturday's floodwater.

The line between Argyle Street and Bridgeton in Glasgow was also closed on Saturday due to track circuit failures from suspected flooding.

Cars had to be driven through floodwater in parts of Glasgow, including Great Western Road, Byres Road, Alderman Road and Haggs Road.

And a couple was forced to abandon a car underneath Drumchapel railway bridge after it became submerged.
