The mother of one of the five children who were injured in Saturday's hit-and-run attack in Castlemilk has described those responsible as "evil beyond words".

Sharon Murphy, whose 14-year-old daughter Mirren was left traumatised following the attempted murder, has also praised the heroic actions of Roisin Walker who remains in hospital with a broken neck.

Roisin, 14, pushed her friends out of the way as the car approached them at high speed, however, despite saving the others she was struck by the car twice.

Speaking to STV News Mrs Murphy said: "It's been a very traumatic time right now, my daughter was fortunate enough to walk away with minor cuts and bruises but the psychological impact this is having on her is agonising to watch as a mother.

"She doesn't want to leave the house right now and can't sleep for reliving the whole ordeal over and over again."

Police Scotland revealed on Monday that a 21-year-old man was the intended victim of the hit-and-run attack.

Officers are still looking to trace the driver and passenger of the silver Vauxhall Astra after the incident that they are treating as an attempted murder.

Mrs Murphy added: "The people who did this are evil beyond words, who drives a car at someone knowing kids are right next to them?"

Roisin's sister Jamieleigh took to social media to provide updates on her sibling's recovery.

She wrote: "Today is the day my brave little sister will battle through her operation.

"I am praying to god she makes a full recovery and everything goes well.

"It angers me that my innocent sister has to go through all of this because some selfish inconsiderate little boys think it's acceptable to drive the streets like maniacs knocking people down with no care in the world who gets hurt in the process.

"Me and my family appreciate all the support from everyone. Hopefully we can get justice for what these people have put my sister through."

Mirren is a close school friend of Roisin, who was taken to Hairmyres Hospital following the attack on Stravanan Road, and is worried about her injuries.

Mrs Murphy and her family are now looking at getting away for a few days during the Easter break.

She said: "Our only priority right now is to try and help mend our daughter, by what ever means possible.

"The Easter break is coming up and we're going to try get her away for a few days to help her get a bit of peace from it all."
