In Glasgow, 48% of people have a strong Scottish identity. This is slightly less than in the rest of Scotland, where the 51% consider themselves very strongly Scottish.  On the other hand, only 6% of Glaswegians do not consider themselves Scottish at all, which is less than the 9% in the rest of Scotland. This indicates that the people of Glasgow are slightly less polarised than the rest of the country when it comes to Scottish identity, with more people placing themselves in the middle of the scale than at the extremes.
