Friends of the fiancee of Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor have spoken about her anger over being charged with wasting police time.
Exclusive footage shot by STV News showed the moment a grim-faced McGregor and Leah Shevlin return to their Glasgow home, just hours after she was arrested.
McGregor is believed to have been at training with his club when police arrived at their home in Glasgow's Park Circus to arrest her. Model Shevlin, 27, has since been reported to the procurator fiscal.
Speaking to the Daily Record newspaper, a close friend said: "Leah is a very, very angry woman.
"When the police came to the house they threatened to put handcuffs on her, which is inappropriate for this kind of matter.
"She was also upset by many of the questions which were put to her.
"Leah was also asked what it was like to have other women throwing themselves at Allan
"There was even some suggestion put to her about her personal appearance, that she was not particularly good looking."

STV understands that Strathclyde Police are now no longer investigating an alleged attack on McGregor, 28 last month. He suffered a black eye and back injury after the alleged attack in Glasgow city centre in the early hours of Sunday, February 21.
McGregor had been questioned by police several times over the incident.
Shevlin had earlier told police she had discovered McGregor injured outside their flat.
Speaking to the Scottish Sun newspaper at the time, she said: "I got home to find him unconscious in the street. There was quite a lot of blood . He doesn't know who did it and he doesn't know where it happened. He's had a fright."
Police had seized CCTV footage from lap-dancing bar Seventh Heaven, near to where McGregor claims he was attacked. They also looked at CCTV from near the couple's luxury apartment in the city's Park district.
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said: "A 27-year-old female is subject of a report to the procurator fiscal for wasting the time of police."
The Daily Record quoted a police insider saying " The CID dropped the investigation into an assault on McGregor and at the same time his fiancee gets arrested. That tells you all you need to know about this whole bizarre affair."
Shevlin has lodged an official complaint with the force's chief constable over the behaviour of officers towards her. The complaint alleges that they made repeated inappropriate and personal comments after arriving at her home to arrest her.
