Glasgow pair admit Buckie offences after fight outside Moray pub
Two Glaswegians involved in a fight outside a Buckie pub will be sentenced on Hogmanay after pleading guilty.
Kieran MacPherson and Jonathon Hunter today appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and admitted two charges of threatening or abusive behaviour.
MacPherson also pleaded guilty to repeatedly punching and kicking a man in the head outside the Pub in the Square on December 8, 2023.
Sheriff Gary Aitken was told that 23-year-old Hunter had previous history with another customer, who was there as part of a separate group.
The pair went outside, Fiscal depute Emily Hood said, and Hunter started fighting after being pushed on the chest.
The court heard that 27 year old MacPherson picked up a pool cue before also going outside.
It was removed from him, but he banged on the pub windows and shouted at other members of the group: "Come on, you pussies."

A fight began and MacPherson struck his victim - who fell to the ground before being punched three times and then kicked on the head.
Defence solicitors Stephen Carty and Robert Cruickshank reserved their comments until December 31 and their clients had their bail continued.
