A missing Glasgow girl was traced by police last night after she vanished from a hospital in Livingstone earlier this week.

Before being found by police, Derri Cochrane was last seen leaving St John's Hospital in Livingstone on Thursday at around 4pm.

The 14-year-old, who is from Kirkintilloch, had not been seen since, and officers say she has links to the Livingston and Broxburn areas.

"The 14-year-old has not been seen since and there are growing concerns for her welfare."

Police have thanked the public for their help in locating the girl: "Thanks for all the help in tracing her."
