Masonry from the wall fell from the road onto undergrowth next to the riverside greenway.
It is unclear whether the wall was struck by a vehicle or collapsed due to structural failure.
A large gap at the footpath opposite the Braehead Road remained on Wednesday leaving a severe drop of several metres to the bricks and vegetation below.
Some of the damaged masonry remained loose and at risk of further collapse.
