Police have appealed for help in tracing a man who has been missing for more than a week, with growing concerns about his welfare.

Jackson Alexander Kennedy Reid lives in Glasgow's Pollokshaws Road and was last seen in the Battlefield area of the city on Friday June 26.

Sergeant Lisa MacDonald, of Gorbals Police Office, said: "Jackson, who may be known to some friends as Alexander Kennedy, still hasn't made contact with anyone and as time goes on we are becoming increasingly concerned about his wellbeing.

"I would appeal to anyone with information to get in touch with police via the non-emergency number 101."

MacDonald also encouraged the missing man to make contact with someone to reassure his worried family and friends about his wellbeing.

She added: "I would also like to appeal to Jackson directly and ask him to get in touch with someone - your family and friends just want to know that you are safe."

Reid is 42-years-old and described as 6ft tall, white with short, dark brown hair.

When he was last seen he was wearing a dark grey hooded fleece top and dark grey bottoms and was carrying a grey backpack with black panels.
