A body has been recovered from the River Clyde by emergency services.

Scottish Fire and Rescue were called to a section of the River Clyde near the Kingston Bridge and River Boat Casino this afternoon.

The body has not been formally identified.

A police spokesperson said: "At around 16.35pm on Saturday 18 June, 2016, a body was recovered by Scottish Fire and Rescue from the River Clyde near the Kingston Bridge."

The discovery comes as the search continues for missing mum-of-four Kirsty Aitchison.

Kirsty, who is registered deaf, was last seen on CCTV on the Broomielaw in the early hours of Sunday 12 June.

Her disappearance has sparked a massive public appeal to find the 30-year-old.

Police divers had searched the River Clyde earlier this week.
