Leigh Griffiths faces court over ‘Rudi Skacel song’
Sheriff Thomas Ross ordered on Wednesday that a hearing into whether Griffiths racially abused ex-Hearts ace Rudi Skacel, 35, should take place next month at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Prosecutors claim Griffiths sang the illegal ditty at a bar in Edinburgh before a Hearts v Hibs derby clash in March 2014.
