Former Rangers star Kyle Hutton appeared at court today accused of killing a woman in a road incident.
Kyle Hutton, 34, allegedly struck Victoria Cairns on Farmeloan Road in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, on November 2 2024.
Hutton – who played for the Gers between 2010 and 2015 – is claimed to have been under the influence of alcohol at the time.
