Footballer James Hurst has been remanded in custody after coughing at police officers and telling them he had coronavirus.
The 28-year-old, who used to play for West Brom and now plays for Hednesford Town, was arrested after losing his temper and swearing at officers, branding them 'Scottish slaves'.
The incident, as reported by the BBC, took place in Glasgow's Drumchapel in April and the former England youth international has admitted acting in a threatening or abusive manner towards the officers.
