A Rangers player has been arrested and charged over a "sectarian" incident.

Grant Adam was held after an incident in Glasgow city centre in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The 20-year-old is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday charged with a sectarian aggravated breach of the peace.

A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said: "We can confirm a 20-year-old male has been charged in connection with an alleged sectarian breach of the peace, in relation to an incident in Ingram Street on Sunday, November 6."

A Rangers spokesman told STV: "We are aware the player was arrested and will investigate the matter fully before making any further comment."

Adam is a goalkeeper for the SPL champions and the brother of Liverpool and Scotland player Charlie Adam.

He has been a member of Scotland national squads at under 16, 17 and 19 level and is recognised as Ranger third-choice keeper.
