Archbishop Philip Tartaglia's condition has improved after he suffered a heart attack in Spain.
Archbishop Tartaglia, 64, was taken to hospital on Thursday night after falling ill in the Spanish city of Salamanca, where Scottish bishops have gathered for their annual winter meeting in Royal Scots College.
A spokesperson for the Archbishop of Glasgow confirmed today he is feeling better and is expected to return home next week.
A spokesman for Archbishop Tartaglia said: "The Archbishop condition has markedly improved.
"This afternoon he will leave the University Hospital of Salamanca and return to the Royal Scots College.
"It is hoped that he will be able to return to Scotland next week.
"He remains in good spirits and is now supported by his brother Canon Gerard Tartaglia who has traveled from Scotland to be with him.
"The Bishops are delighted at this good news"
