Still Game star Ford Kiernan has been fined £800 for shouting and swearing at a barmaid in Glasgow .

The funnyman admitted the "threatening and abusive" outburst towards the pub worker last August.

Kiernan was also accused of directing "obscene and degrading" comments at a worker at Shilling Brewing Company, however a not guilty plea was accepted after he admitting the lesser offence.

The comedian previously denied all the charges and had been due to stand trial at the city’s sheriff court in June.

The case was due to call on April 26 for a pre-trial hearing at the court however Kiernan’s defence team and prosecutors arranged for an “accelerated” hearing, allowing the case to call 24 hours earlier.

Appearing at court he admitted the lesser of the two charges and continued to plead not guilty to the alleged “obscene and degrading” comments.

These pleas were accepted by the Crown and sheriff Joan Kerr fined the actor £800.

This outburst isn't the first time the star has been in trouble. In 2015 Kiernan was fined £3500 in 2005 for a road rage incident.

The Still Game actor hit cabbie William Kerr in the face and dragged him from a car after a heated row in a Safeway car park in Anniesland.

During the rammy, Kerr asked Kiernan if he thought he was “The Big Man” - one of the comic’s Chewin’ the Fat characters.

Speaking outside court at the time he said: “I have probably said enough about this. Let’s just say I don’t want to see another courtroom for a while.”
