A body has been found in the search for a missing Scottish man who disappeared while on a stag do in Portugal.
Greg Monks, 38, was last seen in Albufeira during the early hours of Wednesday, 28 May, while enjoying the first night of a five-day stay.
A major search was launched for the Cambuslang man, with his parents and girlfriend flying out to Portugal to also provide assistance.
His sisters, Jillian and Carlyn, previously spoke to Sky News about the family’s devastation.
Speaking to The UK Tonight with Sarah-Jane Mee, Carlyn said: “As a family, we’re worried sick.”
Jillian added: “He deserves to be found, he deserves to be looked for, we need him home.
“He’s a big part of our family, and it’s just unimaginable if he’s just lying somewhere and we can’t find him.”

Mr Monks was earlier described by his sisters as a “real family man”.
When his family arrived in Albufeira, police told them they had spotted Mr Monks twice on CCTV footage walking around the residential area.
The area where he was last seen – more than an hour’s walk from the Albufeira Strip – had a lot of rough terrain, including rocky outcrops and cliffs.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) was contacted for comment.
