Police are trying to identify a pedestrian who was hit by a private hire taxi and killed on a Glasgow road.

The man, who was 30-35 years old, 5ft 2ins, of medium build and about 60kg (9st 6lbs), was knocked down on Saracen Street at 22:35 on Saturday.

He died at the scene after being hit by the silver Vauxhall Vectra.

He has dark brown hair, which is slightly receding in a crew cut style. He was wearing size 7 white Adidas Hi-Top training shoes.

He was also wearing a dark coloured tracksuit, dark coloured T-shirt and a yellow metal bracelet.
