Driving ban footballer Islam Feruz fined £3,000

Former Celtic and Hibs footballer Islam Feruz has been fined £3,000 after driving an £80,000 Porsche while disqualified.

The 21-year-old appeared at Glasgow's Justice of the Peace Court to be sentenced for the driving offences he admitted last month.

He also pled guilty to driving in Nelson Street, Glasgow, without any insurance on 9 September, 2015.

His not guilty plea to telling police he was someone else was accepted.

Prosecutors had claimed the former child refugee attempted to pervert the course of justice by telling police he was called Saeed Cabadella.

Feruz - who is currently on loan at Swindon Town from Chelsea - was due to go on trial last year but failed to appear as he was training in Tanzania.
