Det Ch Insp Graham McCreadie said there would be additional patrols throughout the area as the investigation continues.

He appealed for anyone with information to contact Police Scotland through the non-emergency line or via an online portal.

He said: "We have already spoken to a number of people who came to Mr Graham’s aid until the ambulance arrived and I would like to thank them for their assistance.

"However, I am still keen to speak to anyone else who was in the area at the time, and may have seen or heard anything suspicious. Please get in touch with officers.

“We would also urge any motorists with dashcams who were in General’s Gate or Old Glasgow Road areas on Sunday night to check your footage.

"We understand that incidents of this nature can cause concern for the local community but please be assured we are doing everything we can to identify those involved."
