TWO Galashiels men have made a private court appearance charged with attempted murder.
Michael Gilbert, 26, and 38-year-old Robert Gregg, are accused of assaulting a man to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
Gregg also faces a charge of being in possession of a bladed article in a public place.
It follows an early morning incident in Langlee, Galashiels, on Saturday.
A 28-year-old man was found with stab wounds in Marmion Road at around 6.45a.m. and was taken to Borders General Hospital, Melrose, for treatment.
Gilbert and Gregg made no plea or declaration at Selkirk Sheriff Court and their cases were continued for further examination.
They were remanded in custody by Sheriff Peter Paterson and expected to appear in court again next Tuesday.
