Glasgow Rugby Player Told Cops He Was "Hit Or Pushed" On Night Out

Glasgow Hawk rugby player Ally Maclay told police he was "hit or pushed" at a Halloween night out, a court heard. He also accepted in evidence his medical notes detailed that he had no loss of consciousness. The 30-year-old told the court that while in Barbeque Kings restaurant, where the alleged assaults took place, he never heard anybody trying to stop what was happening. Mr Maclay was giving evidence for a second day at Glasgow Sheriff Court at he trial of Glasgow Warriors Ryan Wilson, 25, Ryan Grant, 29 and Rory Hughes, 21. They are accused of, whilst acting together, assaulting Mr Maclay at the food joint on Great Western Road on October 27, 2013. It is alleged Grant, from Hyndland, Glasgow, with Wilson and Hughes, punched him on the face, knocked him to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked him on the face and body to his severe injury. Wilson, from Bearsden, Glasgow is accused of assaulting Gavin Quinn at the food joint. He faces another charge of assaulting Mr Quinn, along with Hughes, from King's Park, Glasgow by repeatedly punching him on the head. In earlier evidence Mr Maclay alleged he had been punched on the cheek by Wilson, who was dressed as Batman, while in the takeaway shop. Defence lawyer Colm Dempsey, representing Wilson, asked if he could be mistaken about that and suggested he was pushed, not hit, but this was denied. Mr Dempsey directed Mr Maclay to a police statement he gave on the morning of the alleged attack. He had Mr Maclay read out a line that said: "I remember being hit or pushed and ended up on the floor." Mr Dempsy asked: "Do you recall saying 'I remember being hit or pushed?'. Mr Maclay answered: "Yes." The court also heard that in the alleged victim's medical notes it had "No LOC" meaning no loss of consciousness. The rugby player told the jury: "That's what it says, yes." It was also heard that in the notes it detailed "not knocked out". Mr Maclay agreed that on two occasions he gave an account that he had not lost consciousness. Procurator fiscal depute Alastair Youngson, prosecuting told the witness that Grant and Hughes were being made out to be "peacekeepers". He asked: "What I would like to know, did anybody say so much as one word? Say 'stop it'? The teacher answered: "No." He was asked that having seen the CCTV whether he thought he was hit or pushed and said: "It was both for me to end up on the ground." Gavin Quinn, 30, was allegedly assaulted before Mr Maclay - a friend of his - arrived at the shop. He gave evidence that he had gone into Barbeque Kings when he saw people he recognised sitting in a booth at the window. The commercial investment surveyor told the court he had "hassle" with someone dressed as Batman when he went inside before ordering food. Grant, from Hyndland, Wilson, from Bearsden and Hughes from King's Park, all Glasgow deny the charges and the trial before sheriff Martin Jones QC continues.
