A body has been found in search for a missing Glasgow man.

Police have confirmed that they made the discovery in a wooded area near Ardencraig Road in the city's East End shortly before 4pm today.

A spokesperson said no formal identification has taken place yet but the family of Robert Anderson was notified.

The 60-year-old was reported missing on March 4.

He was last seen around 4.40pm on March 2 in the King Street area of Glasgow city centre before boarding the number 75 bus on Stockwell Street and travelling to Castlemilk.

We reported earlier today that cops were looking for Robert - who was wearing light grey joggers, a white t-shirt, a black jacket and white trainers when last spotted - in the Ardencraig Road area.

Locals were also asked to check their sheds and outbuildings.

Now, the force confirmed that the death is being treated as unexplained but there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
