Leonard, from Milton, was put on the sex offenders register by Sheriff Martin Jones QC.
The court heard police attended a house in the city’s Croftfoot area where he was living at the time.
Officers seized Leonard’s silver laptop.
Prosecutor Amanda Gallagher said: “There were 5640 accessible still images.
“There were 2092 accessible moving images.”
More than 2000 of the clips and photos were at the worst end of the scale used by authorities to grade such images.
