Detective Constable Vhairi Mills, of Greater Glasgow CID, said: "We know that the injured man approached the two other men, when for whatever reason, he was attacked by both. 

“One of the men appears to strike him with a glass object resulting in a serious head injury. 

"From CCTV there were a number of taxis stopped at the traffic lights on Gordon Street at Hope Street and quite a few people in the area at the time and I am sure someone there would be able to help us with our investigation. 

"It is imperative that we catch the two men responsible for this rather nasty attack and so would ask that any information be passed to police via 101 quoting reference number 4346 of Saturday, 28 November, 2020.  Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be called anonymously on 0800 555 111."
