Glasgow Warriors does not condone abuse of any kind and therefore, along with Scottish Rugby, immediately suspended the player following his plea.

An internal investigation has been instigated and a disciplinary hearing will be held this week.

Legal proceedings in this matter are not concluded therefore no further comment will be made at this time.
