St Mirren footballer Kevin van Veen has appeared in court charged with domestic abuse.

The 33-year-old entered no plea at Hamilton Sheriff Court to the charge of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive of his partner or ex-partner.

The case was continued until 28 November.

The Dutch striker joined the Paisley club in the summer on loan from FC Groningen and previously played for Kilmarnock and Motherwell.

He did not appear in his club's match on Wednesday against St Johnstone due to injury.

Earlier this month another St Mirren player, Shaun Rooney, left the club by mutual consent after being charged with assault following an incident in a Glasgow takeaway.
