Celtic winger Scott Sinclair was involved in an altercation at Glasgow Airport this evening while waiting to board a flight.

The 28-year-old was in the BA lounge when he came under attack from three individuals.

The attack is understood to be verbal rather than physical.

Police Scotland were called in and the three involved were prevented from boarding their flight and removed from the airport.

A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said: "I can confirm there was an incident in the BA lounge.

"Three individuals were removed from the flight and the airport by the police."

Sinclair was on the bench for today's Old Firm clash between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox.

The Hoops won the derby 3-2 with goals from Tom Rogic, Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard.

This isn't the first time that Sinclair has been the victim of abuse since his arrival at Celtic.

In April last year a fan made racist 'monkey gestures' at Sinclair when he scored a penalty during an Old Firm clash.

Paul Kenny, 28, from Girvan later appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he admitted the offence contrary to the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.



He admitted engaging in behaviour that is likely or would be likely to incite public disorder in that he did “shout and make racial gestures”.

Sinclair is in a relationship with Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan who is pregnant with their second child.

The pair announced that a little brother or sister was on the way for their daughter Matilda back in December.
