Police have launched an urgent search for a missing man who vanished overnight in Glasgow.

Gregor Gibbons was last seen at his home address in the Colston area of the city at around 6pm on Tuesday evening.

He got into his car, a white Ford Fiesta, registration SB64 NLG.

It is thought the 32-year-old was heading out to work but failed to show up.

An appeal has since been launched in a bid to trace Gregor, with the disappearance being called "out of character" by his concerned family.

He is described as 5ft5in and has very short, shaved hair.

He is believed to be wearing a black Nike hooded top, black sports shorts and black Sketchers trainers.

Extensive enquiries are underway to locate Gregor and a number of people reported seeing him on the Forth and Clyde Canal Path between the hours of 8pm and 10pm on Tuesday night. People who saw him have described him as wearing a grey coloured hooded top so he may have changed his clothing. He was walking in the direction from Bishopbriggs towards Kilsyth and the last sighting of him was in the Twechar area of the canal path.

Extensive enquiries are underway to locate Gregor, however attempts to trace him have so far proved unsuccessful.

Inspector Pauline Thomson, Maryhill Police Office, said:

“Our concern for Gregor is growing as he has never gone missing before and he is very close to his family and friends. For him not to be in touch with them is completely out of character. I would appeal to anyone who may have seen Gregor or who may have seen his white Ford Fiesta to contact us. Any small piece of information could help us find him. His family is understandably very upset at his disappearance and just want to know he is safe and well.”

Anyone with information is asked to call officers at Maryhill Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 0119 of 03/07/19.
