Two men are to stand trial charged with the murder of a dad.

30 year-old David Callaghan and 38 year-old Craig Corrall are accused of killing Owen Hassan in Glasgow's Pollokshaws last November.

Prosecutors claim the 30 year-old was chased, seized by the body and the repeatedly struck with knives or machetes.

Corrall alone faces a separate charge of threatening Mr Hassan and a woman on various occasions between March and April 2018.

The duo are finally accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.

Callaghan's QC Brian McConnachie and Tony Lenehan, defending Corrall, both pled not guilty on their behalf during a short hearing.

Both advocates told the High Court in Glasgow they were ready for a trial to be set.

Lady Scott fixed a trial due to begin in November.

The case could last eight days.
