Police have recovered the bodies of two men in the River Clyde after a tugboat capsized near Greenock.

Earlier we told how the major rescue operation resumed after the vessel capsized off Custom House Quay in Greenock at around 3.30pm on Friday.

Emergency services remained at the scene and divers were seen searching the water this afternoon.

Two bodies have now sadly been recovered. Eye-witnesses at the scene said the bodies were pulled from the water shortly before 2pm on Saturday.

Formal identification has yet to take place, however the next of kin of both crew members who had been reported missing have been made aware.

The tugboat, called the Biter, which is operated by Clyde Marine Services, was escorting the Hebridean Princess cruise ship into the harbour at about 3.30pm when it was apparently pulled over.
