Much-loved Glasgow tiger mural defaced at River Clyde

The much-loved tiger mural found on the banks of the River Clyde at Glasgow City Centre has been defaced.

Photos shared on social media show a graffiti signature covering over the left side of the mural.

The move has provoked anger from many Glaswegians, with Shawlands artist James Klinge's work having been a popular sight since its addition to the Clydeside in 2017.

After sharing an image of the defaced mural on Twitter, Lorraine Howard said: "It’s made me angry they have defaced one of my favourite pieces of street art in Glasgow, it was my favourite.

Meanwhile, John McCarney commented: "That's shocking ... why would anyone do that ... "

Alistair Meechan added: "Just don't understand this mentality. Then they'll moan that their community is a s***hole."

James Klinge's works also include the giant panda on Mitchell Lane, and the new Midland Street portraits by The Arches.
