Former Scots boxer Scott Harrison to be extradited
The order was made by Sheriff Thomas Welsh QC at Edinburgh Sheriff Court following a European Arrest Warrant from the Spanish authorities.
The warrant stated that 37-year old Harrison of Mount Florida in Glasgow, had been sentenced to four years imprisonment for an assault on the Costa Del Sol in October 2012.

Harrison has fought the extradition request over several months at the Extradition Court in Edinburgh.
His defence advocate, Niall NcCluskey, has seven days in which to consider an appeal.
