Five teenagers are to stand trial accused of trying to kill a boy and leaving him unconscious on a railway track.

Jordan Duncan, 18, Stephen Fairservice, 18, Adam Tennant, 18, Josh Todd, 18, as well as a 17 year-old boy - who cannot be named - faced the allegation at the High Court in Glasgow.

The indictment lists two locations for the May 4 2018 incident, including Lanark train station.

It is claimed the boy was struck on the head with a piece of concrete as well as being repeatedly punched and kicked.

He is said to have ended up on the ground unconscious.

Prosecutors claim the boy was then dragged onto a "live railway line".
