A man and a woman who died after the car they were travelling in plunged into a canal have been named by police.
Driver Kieran Lundie, 21, and passenger Gemma McMonagle, 24, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the north of Glasgow.
Three other people who were also passengers in the car were taken to hospital, one in a critical condition.
Police Scotland said the blue Ford Focus had been heading along Balmore Road in the Lambhill area of the city when the vehicle apparently went out of control.
After leaving the road it struck a wall and railings before landing in the water near Lambhill Cemetery, according to officers.
Of the others in the car, a 25-year-old woman is described as being in a critical condition, a 25-year-old man is stable, while a 24-year-old escaped unhurt but was treated for shock.
Friends of the victims laid flowers by the waters edge, while a Celtic strip covered with hand-written messages was tied to a fence nearby.
Sergeant Nicola Taylor said: "Our inquires are continuing into the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.
"It would appear that no other vehicle was involved and I would like to speak to anyone who either witnessed this crash or anyone who remembers seeing the vehicle travelling in Balmore Road just prior to the crash."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the road policing team in Govan on 101.
A report is to be sent to the procurator fiscal.
