The 32-year-old's condition has been described as stable.
Detective Sergeant Stephen Palmer, Maryhill CID, said: "Whilst we believe the injured man was the intended target of the attack, it doesn’t make any difference to our investigation or to how seriously we are taking this incident.
"To assault someone in the middle of a residential street, in the middle of the day is dangerous and reckless.
“The man’s attackers had a total disregard for the safety of others in the street or residents round about.
“We are appealing to anyone who saw what happened or who may have information that will assist our investigation to come forward.”
Anyone with information should contact Maryhill CID via 101 quoting reference number 2194 of Friday, 13 December, 2019.
Alternatively, information can be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
