St Mirren defender Shaun Rooney has been charged with assaulting a woman as well as a breach of the peace against a man in a Glasgow city centre takeaway.
The Scottish Premiership side announced on Thursday that the 28-year-old had been suspended on a "precautionary basis" after he reported the alleged incident to his bosses.
In a statement, the Paisley club vowed to "undertake a full investigation" and would make "no further comment during this process".
