"A teenage car thief has had his sentence delayed to allow him to watch Rangers play in Europe.
Alexander McLeod, 17, from the Drumoyne area of Glasgow, admitted taking a car and driving without a licence. Sentence was initially deferred until 8 March.
But his lawyer returned to Glasgow Sheriff Court after McLeod's mother informed him that her son was due to be in Spain after watching Rangers.
The case was adjourned until after he returns from the Villarreal match.
Sheriff John Newall agreed after McLeod's lawyer said his client had already booked up for what could be the Ibrox club's last "competitive" game for some time. "
Is it not nice of the Sheriff Court Service to adjust its schedules to accommodate the convenience of a young car thief? Our caring court service is prepared to change its arrangements to allow the offender to attend a football match.
I must be getting old and cranky...
