Glasgow City FC striker, Clare Shine, has been found after being reported missing on Sunday morning.

The 25-year-old tweeted a photo of herself in a hospital gown, alongside a heartfelt message thanking those who had expressed concern.

Ms Shine, who joined Glasgow City FC in 2015 before returning last year after a spell at Cork City, had last been seen in Roslin, Midlothian, at 9:30am on Sunday.

Last night her club appealed to the public to help find her, writing: “We are all very concerned.”

But overnight, Ms Shine told followers on social media: “Thank you everyone, I’m struggling and that’s okay. I’ll be back.

“Look after yourself,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji.

The tweet has been “favourited” by Twitter users almost 20,000 times since then.
