Alan told Glasgow Live that he couldn't believe the size of the rat which he initially mistook for a feline. He said: "I was on Percy Street and Paisley Road West. When I spotted it all I could think is how massive it was. I've never seen something so big."There were two but I only managed to catch one on camera. It was about the same size.
