FORMER Selkirk FC manager and Scotland international footballer Garry O’Connor has been charged with exposing himself at an East Lothian hotel.
O’Connor, 36, is alleged to have dropped his trousers and underwear and exposed himself at the Macdonald Marine Hotel in North Berwick.
The ex-Hibs striker is also alleged to have behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting and swearing during the alleged incident last year.
O’Connor, from North Berwick, was not present at Edinburgh Sheriff Court when the case called today (Wednesday) but a plea of not guilty was accepted in his absence.
The retired footballer will now return to court to face trial on the public indecency charge in November this year.
O’Connor denies committing an act of public indecency by removing his trousers and underwear to expose himself while in a public place at the Macdonald Marine Hotel, North Berwick, on June 30 last year.
He is also alleged to have behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing and uttering offensive remarks.
