Kenny Miller bust-up probe: man arrested

POLICE investigating a bust-up in an exclusive restaurant involving Rangers striker Kenny Miller have charged a man with extortion.

Officers were waiting to arrest the 35-yearold outside the gates of exclusive Hamilton College in Lanarkshire after getting a tip-off he would be there.

However, no arrest was made outside the £10,000-a-year school and the man handed himself in to police before appearing at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday.

He was charged with two attempts of extortion, remanded in custody and committed for further examination.

He made no plea or declaration.

We revealed earlier this year that Miller, 36, had to rescue wife Laura, 27, after she was slapped in the face during a bust-up at Da Luciano’s restaurant in Bothwell, Lanarkshire.

The incident followed his side’s 5-1 defeat to Celtic in September.

Miller was questioned by police afterwards. Prosecutors are still considering the case.

Hamilton College school principal Tom McPhail stressed the incident had nothing to do with the school.

“This incident is totally unrelated to the school and is a police matter and as such we have no further comment to make,” he said. A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “I can confirm that a 35-yearold man was arrested in connection with alleged offences including

extortion.”
