Hibs player Ryan Porteous has been arrested and charged in connection with an alleged assault.

It comes after police launched an investigation into an incident at a miners club in Midlothian that allegedly left a woman injured.

The assault is alleged to have taken place outside Dalkeith Miners Club just hours after Porteous played in the club’s 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over Ross County at Easter Road.

The club previously said it was assisting police with their investigation.
