Former Rangers player Kyle Hutton is set to stand trial in February 2028 over the death of Victoria Cairns, who died four days after a crash in Rutherglen in November 2024. Hutton faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving, failing to co-operate with breath and drug tests, and not providing two specimens of breath. Prosecutors allege he failed to carry out proper observations and did not detect Cairns standing on the road before striking her.
During a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow, Graeme Brown KC, defending, pleaded not guilty on Hutton’s behalf. He noted that potentially upsetting footage may be shown as evidence and that Hutton’s wife is likely to be called as a defence witness. Lord Scott set a trial expected to last about four days for 7 February 2028.
Hutton, who also played for St Mirren, Dumbarton and Partick Thistle, remains on bail.
