Former Scotland striker Garry O’Connor has been charged with exposing himself at an hotel.
The 36-year-old is alleged to have dropped his trousers and underwear and exposed himself at the Macdonald Marine Hotel and Spa in North Berwick, East Lothian.
The ex-Hibs forward – who has also played for Lokomotiv Moscow, Birmingham City and Morton in his playing career – is also accused of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting and swearing during the incident last year.
O’Connor, from North Berwick, failed to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court when the case called yesterday but a plea of not guilty was accepted in his absence.
The retired goal poacher, who scored four times in 16 appearances for Scotland, faces a trial in November on the public indecency charge.
O’Connor denies committing an act of public indecency by removing his trousers and underwear to expose himself while in a public place at Marine Hotel 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 during the same incident.
