A statue of King William III has been vandalised again.
The tail of the horse on the statue near Glasgow Cathedral has been broken off and it is though it was deliberate.
It is not the first time the statue has been vandalised.
The statue was targeted on two occasions last summer with graffiti and the pedestal had to be repainted.
Glasgow City council has asked that anyone with any information should contact the police.
The tail has been recovered and the statue being assessed for further repairs
A council spokeswoman said: “If the statue has been deliberately targeted then it is completely unacceptable for any part of the city’s built heritage to vandalised.
“The broken piece has been recovered and will be kept in a safe place. We will properly assess the damage that’s been sustained to help us understand what repairs will be required.”
