Producers will audition for potential stars for the 9th series of the show in the city next month.
They are looking for anyone would could bring something extra special to the famous house next summer.
A spokesman for the Channel 4 show said: "Big Brother will be looking for the people who stand out from the masses."
Many Scots have made it into the house. Glasgow restaurateur Federico Martone, Glasgow University student Shell Jubin and air steward Jason Cowan from Hamilton took part in the early days.
Last year gay Muslim Shabaz Chauhdry walked out after five days.
The most recent Scottish housemate was Ayr store manager David Parnaby - who was evicted after just a week.
Ex-Glasgow MP George Galloway also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
That series was axed after the racism row surrounding the treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty by housemates Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara.
The auditions will be held on the weekend of January 5 and 6 at the SECC.
Callbacks will take place on January 7.
Ex-housemate Anthony Hutton will give the crowd tips on how to make it into the house.
