Striker Kenny Miller to be quizzed by cops after he and wife caught up in boozy row
Rangers player's wife was allegedly taunted and slapped after Old Firm derby
RANGERS striker Kenny Miller will be questioned by cops after his wife was allegedly slapped during a bar brawl, after the Old Firm derby.
The 36-year-old footballer and wife Laura, 27, were reportedly caught up in a boozy row while on a night out after Rangers lost to Celtic 5-1.
A pal said “they were both badly shaken” alleging Laura was slapped in the face and taunted about Ranger’s loss.
She reportedly suffered a black eye and a scratched face as rivals kicked off at a trendy venue in Bothwell, Lanarkshire.
Warring factions are said to have squared up in a car park after a boozy row spilled out of the bar.
Laura had watched the game before heading to Da Luciano restaurant to meet Kenny.
A source told The Scottish Sun: “When Kenny got there, a drunk woman started goading Laura about the result.
“Laura did her best to ignore it but the woman was relentless.
“Kenny tried to calm things down but Laura had become very upset.
“By this stage, other folk were getting involved so they decided it was best to leave.
“As they were going, the woman slapped Laura in the face.
“All hell then broke loose as things spilled out into the car park.
“Insults were flying and the factions had to be held back.
“Everyone had had a good drink and obviously tensions were running high because of the football.”
The source went on: “Police eventually arrived and spoke to Kenny and Laura but they didn’t make any complaint.
“By then, they just wanted to get up the road.”
Cops took CCTV from the far and have said investigations are ongoing.
Officers were due to question the couple, who have two children, at their home yesterday.
Kenny and Laura are not believed to be pursuing assault charges.
The source said: “Kenny and Laura go to Da Luciano a lot because they get peace and quiet — but that night it was absolutely mental.
“Now they just want to forget about it all and move on.”
Laura is believed to have lost earrings in the dispute.
She was pictured watching the Old Firm derby with Rangers’ captain Lee Wallace’s partner Stephanie Moffat, 28, and Amy Wilson, who goes out with former Ibrox midfielder Nicky Law.
In selfies posted last Saturday, Laura appeared to be wearing four diamond encrusted earrings.
She told pals on Instagram: “Old Firm and I’m still sober” In a later tweet with another snap, she wrote: “Last sober pic of the day.”
After the game, Laura said: “Oh well can’t wait to see my boy.”
She later added: “It’s still Saturday tho.”
Laura didn’t post on social media for the next two days.
She told Twitter followers she had the “Monday blues” with a snap of her in a top which said “No one cares”.
On Tuesday, she posted a photo of new jewellery and wrote: “My substitute earrings are not very cool.”
The following day she uploaded a picture of her looking glum.
Despite wearing make-up it showed bruising under her eye and a scratch on her head.
She wrote: “Seriously tired tonight. Early night needed.”
A spokesman for Da Luciano refused to comment.
Police said in a statement: “Officers were called to a report of a disturbance at the Da Luciano
restaurant in Bothwell at around 9.15pm on Saturday.
“Inquiries are ongoing.”
