It is believed he may be dressed in grey tracksuit bottoms and grey hooded top with black trainers, and he usually wears glasses.

Inspector David MacLean said: “We are really concerned about John’s welfare as it’s completely out of character for him to be out of contact with his family and friends for so long.

“We are asking for people local to the Cranhill and Craigend areas to please keep an eye out for him and report any potential sightings.

“I would also request the community check any outbuildings and sheds for anything that could assist with our enquiries.

“We would also urge John, if he sees this appeal, or anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to please get in touch as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 2589 of Friday, July 10, 2026.
