Former Dundee Utd star Garry Kenneth cleared of "behaving in threatening and abusive manner" following row
Former Dundee United star Garry Kenneth has been cleared of "behaving in a threatening and abusive manner" following a row with his partner.
Kenneth was appearing in the dock after being charged in December with behaving in a threatening and abusive manner and road traffic offences.
Prosecutors alleged he behaved in a threatening and abusive manner likely to cause fear and alarm at his home by banging on a door.
However, after a trial that lasted just minutes he was found not guilty of the charge.
Just seven years ago then English Championship side Blackpool bid £500,000 for Kenneth's services in their promotion winning season - but it was turned down as Dundee United valued him at £2 million.
At that point he was about to win the Scottish Cup with the Arabs and was on the cusp of his first of his two Scotland caps.
Now, at the age of just 29, Kenneth is working for fuel dispenser firm Tokheim in Dundee, the city's sheriff court heard.
