Officers have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries and are reviewing CCTV footage for any information on the suspects.
The incident is not believed to be linked to the death of Neil Canney on Nairn Street on the same day.
Detective Constable Brian Connelly said: “This young man has sustained life-changing injuries in this violent and unprovoked attack. We are following a positive line of inquiry, however, we still need assistance from the public and I am asking anyone with information to contact us, no matter how insignificant the information may seem. I would also ask anyone with recording equipment to check the footage as it could hold images which could assist our ongoing investigation.”
He added: "I’m aware people have concerns following the death of a man in Nairn Street earlier this week, however, I want to reassure everyone that there are no links to that incident. Additional officers remain on patrol and anyone with concerns can speak to those officers.
"Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3383 of 28 February, 2023. Alternatively, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where your information can be given anonymously."
