Hello, Patrick. I´m sure that the film is "La Mort en Direct"
aka "Death Watch", a film from 1979, directed by Bertrand Tavernier.
The co-stars are Romy Schneider, Harry Dean Stanton and Max Von
Sydof. Is one of my favourite movies and yes, was filmed in Glasgow.
Here´s a link from the gallery in my website, if you´ve doubts:

And a comment from a good film database posted by a fan:

This film was shot in my home town, Glasgow, in 1979. Since then it
has rarely been seen and indeed I only saw it myself for the first
time this year. Our local arthouse cinema, the Glasgow Film Theatre,
screened a one off presentation of what was alleged to be the last
print in existence. Though the print itself was old and worn the
film blew me away with its futuristic storyline, fantastic cast and
phenomenal locations. It captures Glasgow as it was in the late 70's
just before a period of great changes in the landscape of the city.
Tavernier skillfully uses an environment that is full of eery
imagery - graveyards, cranes and an industrial landscape that is
grinding to a halt. The film also depicts a society fascinated with
death. Harvey Keitel is excellent as the human camera that allows
society the ultimate act of voyeurism - watching someone die on TV.
Awesome. Someone, somewhere please commission.
