Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has been cleared by police over claims he sent 'inappropriate messages' to a girl under the age of 16.
The Scotland international was sent home from the Hoops' training camp in Wales as his club and Police Scotland looked into the allegations.
The investigation has now ended with officers ruling there was 'no criminality' found.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "In relation to recent reporting regarding alleged inappropriate communications online, a full assessment has been carried out and it’s been established there is no criminality."
A spokesperson for the the Parkhead side said last week: “We have been made aware of online comments concerning Leigh Griffiths. The Club will now look into this matter carefully.
“Leigh has left the Club’s training camp as we do this."
