THE family of a Renfrew man who has been missing in Spain for over four months have revealed fresh CCTV of him has been found by authorities. 

Gary Watson Shearer arrived in the resort of Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote on March 16, to celebrate St Patrick's Day.

The 53-year-old was then last seen in the early hours of the next morning, and he then failed to show up for his flight home a week later.

In the latest update into the investigation, Gary's family have revealed authorities have found new CCTV of him with another man.

The Gazette:

Speaking to The Gazette, Gary's sister Debbie Shearer has said the news of the footage has given the family a bit of fresh hope in the case.

However, she said: "Every time there's a newspaper article on Gary, the authorities come back to us with a wee bit of news and as my mum says - it's useless information that they don't follow through.

"It was last week when they said to us about the CCTV and they said it would be going to a judge on Friday, August 4, and if it was passed it would be released on Monday, August 7.

"We're still sitting here waiting on this CCTV. So, we don't know whether they are just dangling a carrot in front of us then taking it away - just to give us false hope."

Following his disappearance, Spanish cops carried out a search of the area in June.

However, we previously reported that this search was unsuccessful.

The Celtic fan reportedly disappeared from outside Bar 67 in Puerto del Carmen, however, CCTV cameras show he was lying unconscious in a shop doorway next to the pub at around 1.30am on March 17.

We also previously reported that Debbie revealed the family have faced a lack of communication from Spanish authorities around the investigation.

While Gary's loved ones have also flown out to the resort to carry out their own search.

He was last seen wearing a Celtic top, shorts, and white Nike trainers with green and yellow flashes.

The loved family man is described as being around 5ft 2inch tall, has short hair, and walks with a distinctive limp.

He also has epilepsy and type 2 diabetes.

Spanish authorities have been contacted for comment.
