A MAN is due to stand trial later this year accused of assaulting Scottish singer Michelle McManus with a guitar case.
Derek McArthur, 43, allegedly hit the former Pop Idol star and TV presenter with the music case at the Linen Bar on Pollokshaws Road, on January 22 last year.

Papers from the court claim the 37-year-old "did strike her on the head with a guitar case or similar implement, to her injury".
McArthur, from Shawlands, pled not guilty through a lawyer's letter and a trial date was set for August at Glasgow's Justice of the Peace Court.
Michelle, a former Evening Times columnist, rose to fame in 2003 when she was crowned the winner of Pop Idol.
