Scotland and Blackburn striker David Goodwillie has pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in Glasgow.
The 23-year-old forward admitted attacking John Friel in the city's Queen Street on 3 November 2010.
Goodwillie repeatedly punched Friel on the head and body and kicked him on the body during the incident.
He pleaded guilty during an appearance at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Sentence on the footballer was deferred until next month for reports.
Goodwillie made his competitive debut in December 2005 with Dundee United, appearing as a late substitute in the defeat over Rangers at Ibrox.
He has represented Scotland at all international youth levels and received his first call-up for the senior team in November last year.
The striker signed a four-year deal last August with Blackburn Rovers and scored his first goal for the team against Kilmarnock.
