On Tuesday officers shared a second photograph of David.

Recent enquiries have found that he was dropped off by taxi on Glasgow's Broomielaw, near the King George V Bridge at around 7.15pm on December 9.

He has not been seen since.

David is described as white and around five foot, four inches tall, with short grey hair.

Police are 'concerned for his welfare' and say it is 'extremely unusual' for David to not be in contact with loved ones for so long.

Anyone with information on David's whereabouts is being urged to come forward.

Inspector Ryan Curran said: “We have been carrying out extensive enquiries to trace David over the last week since he was reported missing.

“Sadly he remains missing at this time.

"It is extremely unusual for him to have been out of contact with family and friends for this length of time and we remain very concerned for his welfare.

“I would urge anyone who believes they may have seen David at any time since the evening of Thursday, December 9 to get in touch.

“Anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage from around the Broomielaw area or anything which may show David’s movements is asked to pass this on.

"Anyone who has seen David, or who has any information on his whereabouts should contact officers through 101 quoting reference 1285 of December 14."
