A SUSPECT is accused of groping a man at Ibrox Stadium.
Garry Stokes, 32, of Glasgow’s Knightswood, is accused of grabbing the man’s genitals on April 14, 2022.
The Gers took on Portuguese outfit SC Braga in the UEFA Europa League quarter final that night.
Giovanni van Brockhorst’s men needed extra time to progress to the next round – winning the tie 3-1.
Court papers claim the alleged offence happened in the stadium’s Broomloan Road stand.
Stokes faces a further accusation of possession of cocaine at the same time and place.
Stokes pled not guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the two charges.
A trial has been fixed for January by Sheriff David Nicolson.
Stokes was granted bail meantime.

Recently we told how Rangers will not display their mains sponsor’s logo on the front of their shirts when the players take to the pitch against Dundee tonight.
The Ibrox club are sponsored by Red32 Online Casino but as part of Safer Gambling Week, they will drop the gambling company from their jersey.
32Red is part of the Kindred Group, whose Zero % Mission campaign is geared towards the goal of zero percent of its revenue being generated from harmful gambling by the end of 2023 (Kindred is also the parent company of Unibet, the Ibrox club’s other jersey sponsor).
So instead of displaying 32Red on the front of their shirts for tonight’s Premier Sports Cup quarter-final clash, the Rangers players will wear a top with the Zero % Mission branding emblazoned on it.
Rangers say additional branding to promote the campaign will also be visible on the club’s website and social media channels, and on LED advertising and screens at the stadium.
