Global Video plc was a chain of British video rental stores that ceased trading in 2006.[2]

The chain's founder, Maqbool (Maq) Rasul, was ranked among Scotland’s Richest Asians in a 2005 survey published by Sunrise Radio. His business had a number of rivals such as Blockbuster Video, Tesco DVD and LoveFilm.[3] It subsequently went into administration and in June 2006, the last store closed.[4]
