Footballer Matthew Flynn admits supplying cocaine

  • Published

A player with junior football side Rutherglen Glencairn has pleaded guilty to supplying cocaine.

Matthew Flynn will be sentenced next month after admitting being concerned in the supply of the Class A drug at his Castlemilk home in July 2010.

The 23-year-old was given 190 hours of community sentence last year for head-butting Dundee United player Barry Douglas in Glasgow in November 2010.

Flynn was a former youth player with Dundee United.

During the incident in Glasgow's Queen Street in November 2010, Dundee United player Danny Swanson was knocked unconscious by another man, John Friel.

Friel was sentenced to 240 hours of community service for his part.

Former Dundee United and now Blackburn Rovers striker, David Goodwillie, pled guilty on Monday to punching and kicking Friel during the same incident, after learning he was Swanson's attacker.

He is due to be sentenced later this month.
