Owners of a pub which announced its shock closure this week are looking for a new tenant to take over the bar.

Star Pubs who own The Horse & Barge are looking for someone to take up the reins of the bar which closed its door on Monday, February 17.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the former tenants said: "As of today we are closed for business.

"Unfortunately working under a brewery has been tough and we have made the decision to close as a result.

"We would like to thank you for all your custom."

"The pub is a traditional community local which sits in a prominent position on one of the main routes through Clydebank near local shops and the train station. It already has an established trade and football following and is a great business venture.
