A Cambuslang man has admitted threatening a Netherton shop assistant with a knife during an attempted robbery.
Euan Holding, 21, of Howieshill Road, went into Baz’s Store in Kirkhill Place on May 18 last year.
He brandished a knife towards a female employee and demanded money, but none was handed over.
Holding did not appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday, but lawyer Stephen McQuillan lodged a guilty plea on his behalf.
Sheriff Linda Nicolson called for a criminal justice social work report and an electronic tagging assessment.
Holding must attend court for sentence in April.
