People that grew up in the city would pronounce it as 'glaz-go' or 'glez-ga'. People a little further out (like my mrs from Wishaw) says it as 'glez-gay'.

It should be glaz-go. The s is a soft z sound, definitely not with an r sound in there!

Try and see if you can find some of David Cameron (ex-prime minister) saying the scottish city names. Out of any English person I can remember, his pronunciation of Glasgow and Edinburgh were always spot on.
