A former East Kilbride school teacher faces being struck off after allegedly making sexual remarks and inappropriately touching two young boys.
The unnamed man, who was a staff member at a school in the town, has had a number of allegations made against him dating back to the 1990s.
He is now set to go before the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) on Tuesday, January 25.
