Coming from Glasgow originally it would have to be "yooze wans" but it's not in the list.

Yes indeed some folk I grew up with used that expression or variations thereof (youze, yez, etc.). However, many who like me speak Scottish Standard English and/or Scots with noticeable Glasgow accents do not. I always use you both plural and singular.
