A man will stand trial accused of holding a sectarian banner at an Aberdeen football match against Rangers.
Neale Ross, 34, allegedly committed the offence at Ibrox Stadium on October 29 2022.
The Gers hosted foes Aberdeen in a match that the Glasgow side won 4-1.
Court papers state Ross conducted himself in a disorderly manner at the match.
It is claimed he displayed a banner which bore an offensive sectarian slogan.
Ross, of Aberdeen, is further stated to have committed a breach of the peace.
The alleged offence is said to have been aggravated by religious prejudice.
Ross is also stated to have been on bail from Aberdeen Sheriff Court at the time.
Ross – wearing a red and white tie in the dock- pled not guilty to the single charge on Tuesday.
CCTV camera evidence
His lawyer Paul Sutherland told Glasgow Sheriff Court that the defence doesn’t have the CCTV camera footage being used in the case.
Sheriff Vincent Lunny stated: “The CCTV will show what’s said on the banner and who is holding it”.
Prosecutor Ramsay Cunningham claimed that the CCTV has been disclosed but will check if there has been an admin error.
A trial was fixed for the end of the month and Ross remains on bail in the meantime.
