Ex-Celtic star Nir Bitton avoids ban after being caught driving almost double the speed limit

Former Celtic star Nir Bitton was caught driving at almost double the speed limit.

The 31-year-old committed the crime on Glasgow’s M80 near junction two on April 7, 2019. The Maccabi Tel-Aviv midfielder, formerly of the city’s Kelvinbridge, was clocked going at 95 miles per hour in a 50 zone in his Audi sports car.

He later told police : “As far as I know, I wasn’t driving at that speed, no chance, but if you say so, I believe you.”
