Former Rangers, West Brom, Norwich and Livingston star Graham Dorrans has won a battle to build a new luxury home on the banks of the River Clyde.
The Dundee midfielder has been given the green light to erect a five-bedroom property in the affluent village of Bothwell, Lanarkshire.
Dorrans' luxury new pad will also include a gym, a bar, a cinema room and a toy room.
The 33-year-old, who currently lives in nearby Thorntonhall, Lanarkshire, will also enjoy office space, a grand staircase and a three-car garage at the 7,000 sq/ft property with a balcony overlooking the river.
One neighbour had objected to the plans at South Lanarkshire Council saying the new build would spoil his privacy.
Marco Clemente wrote: "The development is on higher ground and given its proposed size and location, we will suffer a loss of privacy in our home and garden.
"It will result in a loss of natural light for much of the day as it will directly block sunlight reaching my property.
"The proposed development is maximising use of available land in the proposed site and as a consequence is overbearing and out of keeping with the wider developments in the area."
However planners at South Lanarkshire Council have now rubber stamped the development.
A report said: "It is considered that the proposed development from a land use perspective raises no issues.
"It is considered that the proposed two storey dwellinghouse with annex accommodation and formation of vehicular access will not have a negative impact on the visual quality and amenity of neighbouring properties and the local environment. Indeed a number of new houses are being built in the immediate area.
"The proposed dwelling house in terms of its scale, mass has been designed in an appropriate and sympathetic manner to accord with the physical characteristic of the site.
"Accordingly it is considered that the proposed dwelling house will not represent over development or be overly out of context or result in a negative visual impact."
Dorrans started his youth career at Rangers before making his professional debut at Livingston in 2005.
He then had spells in England with West Bromwich Albion and Norwich before signing for Rangers in 2017.
After an injury hampered spell at Ibrox, he signed with Dundee last year and penned a new 18-month deal at Dens Park in January amid transfer speculation linking him with a move to MK Dons.
