He has admitted behaving threateningly at a Camelon home on February 7 by repeatedly shouting and swearing at the woman and uttering offensive comments – a crime which was aggravated by religious prejudice.

The 41-year-old also assaulted a policeman by kicking him on the body.

Defence solicitor Martin Morrow said: “There’s no report. He was remanded in custody for the report.

“He was asking the prison what happened but nobody seems to know. He has a calling next Thursday for a drug treatment testing order review.”

Sheriff Derek Livingston deferred sentence until March 18.

Kelso was remanded in custody.
