RANGERS player Bilel Moshni has been fined more than £400 after he was caught driving with no insurance and while on his phone.
The 27-year-old defender was spotted by officers in Saracen Street in Glasgow's Possilpark area.
When police did a background check on October 15, last year, it was found that he had no insurance to drive the car.
French-born Moshni pleaded guilty yesterday at Glasgow's Justice of the Peace Court to driving without insurance and while on his mobile phone.
He was fined a total of £405 with 28 days to pay, and handed six penalty points.
A plea of not guilty to a charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice, by pretending to police that he didn't live in the UK and was visiting the country for a catering course, was accepted by prosecutors.
Moshni was not present when the case called at the court but was represented by defence lawyer Martin Black.
The court heard Moshni was seen driving and speaking on a mobile telephone.
Moshni made his debut for Rangers at Ibrox in September last year in a 5-1 win over Arbroath.
