A warrant has been granted for Scotland midfielder Robert Snodgrass after he failed to turn up to his trial this morning.
He is charged with driving a car while a baby was being held by a passenger.
The 29-year-old West Ham player was allegedly driving on Duke Street, Glasgow on April 17, 2015 with too many people to put a baby seat.
Papers from the court claim he “did drive said vehicle whilst a baby was being carried in the arms of a rear seat passenger as there was insufficient space to fit a suitable child seat due to the number of passengers”.
Snodgrass, originally from Glasgow, was not at the city's Justice of the Peace Court when the case called.
Defence lawyer Martin Black told the court “He didn’t think he had to be” when asked why his client was not present.
The Crown requested a warrant that was granted by JP Eunice Paton.
