Police investigating the murder of a popular young father in Paisley want to speak to two men.
Police Scotland's Major Investigation's Team are still hunting the killer of Craig McClelland who was killed during a violent attack which happened on Tweed Avenue in the Foxbar area of Paisley at around 11.20pm on Sunday, July 23.
The father-of-three was found with serious injuries after being stabbed during an altercation on his way to a friend’s house.
He was rushed to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he later died.
Murder detectives say there is still extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances and locate whoever is responsible.
They have issued descriptions of two men they would like to speak to as part of the ongoing investigation. These two men were seen near to Tweed Avenue around the time of the murder and officers believe they may hold information which is vital to the ongoing inquiry.
The first man is between 25 and 30 years of age. He is over 6ft tall and was wearing a light grey coloured tracksuit.
The second man is of a similar age, around 5 ft 9 inches in height with a slim build. He was wearing dark coloured clothing and white trainers. It’s believed he may have been carrying a yellow plastic rucksack.
Police previously appealed for a man walking his dog to contact them, and this man has contacted officers.
We previously revealed a crowdfunding page was set up to raise funds for Craig's funeral with well-wishers donating £5,000 so far.
Craig was dad to Jacob, 5, Caleb, 2 and six-months old Elijah and he also leaves behind his partner Stacey.
His heartbroken mother Florence Wilson previously said: "My wonderful, talented, funny, frustrating Craig would be blown away to know so many people care about him and for Stacey and the boys.
"My broken heart will never mend and my loss is overwhelming.
"Thank you all for caring, my hope that the world is not bad is being proven here."
