However, Adams failed to appear when the case recalled this week, despite having attended earlier in the day to speak with his solicitor Dick Sandeman.

Addressing Sheriff Derek Hamilton, Mr Sandeman said: “It’s not a particularly good report.

“I spoke to him about it this morning. He was here.”

Given Adam’s no-show, Sheriff Hamilton granted a warrant for his arrest and revoked an existing order.
