Last picture of Greg Monks emerges as search continues for Scot missing in Portugal

The 38-year-old was on a stag do with pals when he vanished.

The last picture of Greg Monks has emerged, as searches to track down the missing Scot continue in the Portuguese holiday hotspot of Albufeira.

The 38-year-old, of Cambuslang, near Glasgow, vanished from the Algarve on Tuesday evening, hours after he arrived in the sunshine destination with his friends.

And the last picture taken of him before he vanished has now been shared online in a bid to help track him down. The picture was posted in a Facebook group set up to help the search.

It shows that he was wearing navy Nike shorts and a t-shirt by the sports brand and gives loved ones and the authorities searching for him more to go on in the hunt to find him.

It was thought there were no pictures of him on the night he disappeared, with his sister saying previously they did not know for sure what he had been wearing.

The photo was posted on Missing Person Greg Monks - Albufeira, Portugal Facebook page and contained the caption: "This is Greg on the night he went missing, he had on navy Nike shorts and T-shirt."

The social media picture was shared over 800 times by people desperate for him to return to his friends and make contact with his loved ones again.

Well wishes also flooded in, with people saying they were praying for him and the family that he is found safe and well, following CCTV sightings of him.

Greg - who was on a stag do with pals, ahead of being an usher for one of his friends - sparked a major search when he disappeared after leaving the popular bustling strip to head back to the group's apartments.

However no one has seen or heard from him since and his worried parents and other loved ones currently out in Albufeira desperately seeking answers to his whereabouts.

Portuguese search cops have told relatives he was last sighted on CCTV around four miles from his apartment and the strip in a quieter residential area of Cerro de Águia.

Sister Jillian Monks says the exhausted search-party, including Greg's mum, dad, cousin and girlfriend Nicole, are numb as they scour the Algarve.

Jillian, 36, who has had to remain in Glasgow with her two young children says she is doing everything she can to share appeals and reach out to locals on social media.

Speaking with the Record, she said: "This is every family's worst nightmare. We have never known pain like this. It is just horrendous. We are all trying to keep positive but we know how out of character this is for Greg.

"We know if he could contact us he would. We're all just numb and we're praying he's safe. We are all worried sick for him." Jillian has told how the stag party quickly got changed after checking into the Novochoro Apartments.

They then headed out, and are believed to have been in King's Cross karaoke bar in Albufeira's nightlife hub before Greg became separated from the group.

Jillian said: "His girlfriend, Nicole, is over in Albufeira, she checked through his case to see what was missing. We think he might have had a navy blue Nike shorts and top set on.

"She's absolutely devastated right now, she just wants him back." Jillian says gutted mates were left "devastated and shocked" when they realised that Greg hadn't returned to the apartments.

They immediately contacted police after he was missing for 12 hours. She said: "The group had only been there for a matter of hours. They checked in and were only in the apartment for 20 minutes before heading out again.

"They are all devastated and shocked by what has happened. They spent the rest of the time there searching for him and trying to help. They have all returned home today, Greg should be back home with them."

Jillian says the family are in constant contact with local police who have altered the national police force in Portugal. But she says the family have yet to see proof that Greg was spotted in Cerro de Águia and are asking police to show them the CCTV clips.
