I think it will be Gairbraid Street John.

As the street renamed all the numbers will be different too.
however I found this on a 'google'
339-41 Gairbraid Street was later 991-99 Maryhill Road at Oran Street
So I'd suggest that the house you are looking for would have been on Maryhill Road about opposite Sandfield Street.
They are new buildings ther,e the old tenements having been demolished at some stage.
