A thug who battered a Celtic FC Women’s star during a shocking campaign of domestic abuse has been banned from contacting the victim for five years.
Paul Tansey - brother of former Scotland hero Leigh Griffiths - headbutted Hoops midfielder Lisa Robertson during one brutal attack at her Edinburgh home. While the amateur footballer also monitored her phone use, pestered her, made offensive remarks towards her and threatened suicide when she dumped him throughout the couple’s relationship.
The violent lout also admitted launching a cup of hot tea at Ms Robertson and to damaging her front door amid another fiery confrontation. Tansey, from Dalkeith, Midlothian, pleaded guilty to engaging in a course of conduct which was abusive of Ms Robertson when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court earlier this year.
