SCOTLAND and Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie is set to go on trial accused of assaulting a Nottingham Forest fan after last season’s play-off match at the City Ground.
McBurnie, who has scored nine goals in 18 games this season, denies a charge of assault by beating during a post-match pitch invasion on May 17 this year.
The 26-year-old, whose previous clubs include Swansea City and Barnsley, entered a not guilty plea in August and is due at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday for the start of a two-day trial.
