What is the probability of catching glandular fever from friend?

Kissing's the risk: In some cultures, friends kiss like lovers do, and this can be risky while your friend is sick. But I wouldn't be the one to say it's not worth the risk. Otherwise, it's not infectious.

Mononucleosis: Assuming you are referring to EBV infection this depends upon how close a friend. This is often known as the kissing disease, but can be transmitted respiratorily in some instances.
