A STILL Game star has hit out after a group of Glasgow 'penguins' have went missing.
Gavin Mitchell, who played the iconic Boaby the Barman on the hit show, has taken to Twitter after a bunch of the 'Kelvin Way penguins in the wall' figurines have disappeared.
The figures are usually spotted scaling rocks or picking up litter on an old wall on the Kelvin Walkway.
However, some of the popular figurines have now disappeared.

Taking to Twitter to announce the 'sad news', The Penguins in the Wall page wrote: "I have some sad news. We woke up this morning to find our little community had disappeared in the night.
"We do not know where anyone else is, or even if they'll ever come back, but we will not stop searching every inch of our wall until we find them."

"C’mon return the penguins!"

Some of the penguins who were out 'litter-picking', avoided being 'taken', but there is still no news on the others.
The page returned to Twitter saying: "Last night my mum finally made it home, but no one else in the community.
"Those of us who are left will not be frightened away by these events and we'll be back out in the wall enjoying ourselves today."
