'caution' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'glaswegian man taken in by an attractive person' is the wordplay.
'glaswegian man' becomes 'mon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'taken in by' indicates putting letters inside.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'attractive person' becomes 'dish' (dish can mean an attractive person).
'a'+'dish'='adish'
'mon' going inside 'adish' is 'ADMONISH'.
