A RETAIL giant plans to recruit ­dozens of extra workers in the run-up to Christmas.

Argos is looking for around 60 temporary staff for its four stores in Glasgow.

The High Street chain says extra customer advisors are needed to cope with the festive rush and to make sure thousands of city customers get their gifts in time for Christmas.

Regional general manager Steve Farndale said: "As we ­approach our busiest shopping period of the year, we need the extra support in our stores.

"We are looking for people who are customer focused, energetic and enthusiastic to join our teams to ensure we continue to deliver brilliant customer service.

"People are at the heart of our transformation as a business and we are excited to welcome new people at this key time for us."

He added: "Argos has been a traditional part of the UK Christmas for 40 years.

"Our ability to deliver a choice of 43,000 products for the whole family within easy reach is why millions of people visit our stores over the festive period."
