A pensioner has been left housebound after she broke her hip stepping on a loose slab in Glasgow city centre.
Morag Herbertson, 80, was walking towards Argyle Street when she suddenly slammed into the pavement outside Pizza Hut at the four corners.

"I was told I'd get the operation on Tuesday, however, it ended up being the Wednesday morning."
Morag has been left feeling like those living in the neighbouring Barlinnie Prison following the incident.

"My son brought my bed downstairs to the living room. The therapists came recently to check the stairs outside and they said there is no way I could go out until a rail is
