Total non-story this, apart from the fact that it was a 'Rangers legend' who lost the phone.
I mean, what's the relevance of the 'Sons of Struth' social media appeal? The circuit obviously just got in touch with the driver or proprietor, end of.
What's maybe more noteworthy is that the phone was returned at all, and thus it was an honest driver and subsequent passengers, or maybe it was the driver's last job of the shift.
Nice bit of free marketing for Glasgow Taxis, though.

It read: "Need some help from our friendly Glasgow Hackney drivers.
"Rangers legend Willie Henderson was taken home in a black hack from Sons of Struth Football Academy awards last night and he’s left his phone in the cab.
"The firm say call sign 7080 is off shift just now. Willie is devestated as he’s got many personal pictures on his phone along with the usual inconvenience of losing a phone.
"Please help us get Willlie's phone back."
Glasgow Taxis contacted the driver, Eddie Spears, and are now able to return Willie's phone.
Glasgow Taxis chairman Dougie McPherson said: "We were delighted to be able to quickly trace Eddie, return the phone to Willie and help put his mind at ease.
"It's always a pain to lose a phone but it's the personal pictures which always hold the greatest value, so we're very grateful to our call centre staff and to Eddie for helping get the phone back to Willie so promptly.
"It's a common occurrence for items, especially phones, to be left behind in taxis like this.
"When the customer's address and contact details are known thanks to the systems we have in place it's easy to return them - in any instances when that isn't the case, all items would be handed in to Police Scotland lost property."
