A Glasgow local has been left “sickened” after spotting rats scurrying near the entrance of a Morrisons in the south of the city.
The video, taken on Tuesday, February 24, appears to show a large rat climbing to the top of a bin cage outside Morrisons Daily on Househillwood Road in Nitshill. A second rodent can be seen hurrying along the pavement and entering the cage from the bottom.
The sight left the customer feeling “sick” and said it is now a reason “not to shop” at that particular store. He said: “They are running about outside of the shop doors, I seen two in the video but there could be loads more. To think we eat and drink stuff that rats could of ran over. It is well below standards.”
Morrisons has since launched an investigation after becoming aware of the incident earlier this week.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “We treat food safety and hygiene very seriously. As soon as we became aware of an isolated issue outside Morrisons Daily Nitshill on Wednesday we took immediate action. We are urgently investigating this and are taking appropriate measures to manage the situation.”
This week, Glasgow Live reported that rats continue to plague streets across the city, with the rodent population having soared for nearly the seventh year in a row. A Freedom of Information Request (FOI) has revealed that in 2025, there were 12,155 reports of rats both inside homes and on streets, up from 10,341 in 2024.
