As the suspects made their escape, a neighbour attempted to confront them but he was lunged at by one of the men brandishing a knife.
All three suspects were wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered.
They escaped in a waiting Seat Leon car.
Detective Sergeant Shona Beattie, Community Investigation Unit, Govan Police Station, said:
"Although not injured, this was a very frightening experience for the couple and their neighbour.
"We believe this was a targeted housebreaking with the suspects knowing what they'd find in the house.
"Officers are checking CCTV from the area and carrying out house to house enquiries, but we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the car driving off at speed towards; or indeed, the car being in the area either prior to the break-in or in days before. We'd ask that people check any dash-cam footage from the street or maybe private CCTV?
"If you have any information that will assist our enquiries, then please contact police via 101 quoting reference number 3051 of 6 December 2020 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
