A Lanarkshire man has appeared in court charged with approaching Craig Whyte and threatening him.

Barrie Donnelly, 39, allegedly behaved in a threatening or abusive manner towards Mr Whyte on April 27.

Prosecutors claim that on King Street, near the High Court in Glasgow, Donnelly did “approach Craig Whyte, repeatedly shout at him, repeatedly utter threatening remarks to him and follow him”.

Donnelly, from Uddingston, South Lanarkshre, appeared from custody at the city’s sheriff court.

He was represented by Emma Crilley who pled not guilty on his behalf.

Sheriff Shona Gilroy released Donnelly on bail with the special condition he must not approach or contact Mr Whyte.

A trial was set for September.
