Teenager charged with assaulting Rangers star Kyle Lafferty

[Ergatrude 0]

A teenager has been charged with assaulting Rangers footballer Kyle Lafferty by throwing a stone at him in a supermarket car park.

 

Reice Harrison, 16, is accused of either assaulting Lafferty or wilfully and recklessly throwing a stone at his car.

 

He is further charged with conducting himself in a disorderly manner on the same occasion, at the car park of the Morrisons store in Napier Street, Johnstone, on November 21.

 

The charge alleges he was shouting and swearing, uttering sectarian remarks and committing a breach of the peace.

 

Harrison's solicitor sought bail at Paisley Sheriff Court on Wednesday, but the request was denied after opposition from the Crown.

 

Sheriff James Spy remanded Harrison, of Ferguslie, Paisley, in custody and set a trial diet early in the New Year.

 

Can't help but wonder if this was a Celtic star that had been attacked the photo would be of Ibrox or a generic Rangers fan.

No mention that he's a Celtic fan, just a jolly wee ned.

If they did mention who he supported, would that not give his defence a claim that his case was discrimanted against???

 

Folks can well imagine what he's been shouting and I'm fairly sure it will come out in the court case. How much coverage it gets with the Scottish media is another matter!
