Nine people charged with attempted murder following large-scale disturbance in Merchant City
The group is also charged with seriously assaulting two other people during the incident in March last year
Nine people are to stand trial accused of attempted murder, following a large-scale disturbance in Glasgow's Merchant City last year.
Kyle Beard (25), Andrew Quinn (26), James Quinn (21), William Barclay (28), Kahl Cullen (23), Gemma Martin (25), Jack Docherty (28), Jamie Kinnaird (26) and James Gemmell (23) denied the charges against them at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday.
The incidents are said to have occurred between Albion Street and Blackfriars Street in Glasgow city centre last March 31.
The nine are said to have acted together in trying to kill Francis McCann.
The accusation includes claims he was punched, stamped upon and stabbed on the neck with a knife.
It is also alleged he had cider poured over him and a bottle thrown at him.
All nine are also charged with assaulting Scott Meehan and Lee Wylie to their severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of their lives.
Mr Meehan is said to have been punched, knocked to the ground and struck with a knife.
Mr Wylie meantime was allegedly punched, kicked and stabbed with a blade.
Beard alone faces a charge of assaulting George Cullen to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement during a further alleged knife attack.
The nine, all of Glasgow, are finally accused together of behaving in a “threatening and abusive manner” by shouting and swearing at others.
Lawyers for the group along with prosecutor Murdoch MacTaggart said a trial could be set.
Lord Armstrong fixed a trial due to begin in July in Glasgow.
The case could last around 12 days.
