A thug attacked two customers and a bouncer at an Irish pub in Glasgow city centre.

Matthew Burns, 31, was in Kitty O’Shea’s on Waterloo Street on the night of March 2 when he kicked off.

He approached a table, where two men were sitting, and grabbed one of them by the throat with both of his hands.

Burns then pushed him back. He went on to punch the other man to the back of the head several times.

Last week, Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that the attack “appeared to be unprovoked”, and was committed whilst Burns was on bail.

The Barrhead man was escorted from the premises but remained nearby.

He approached a security guard, who was standing outside, and punched him to the side of the head.

Prosecutor Laura Martin said: “He continued to assault the security guard by punching him multiple times to the head and body, before taking him to the ground.

“Police attended. An officer asked the accused to provide his details to which he replied, ‘you don’t belong in this country, I’ll make sure once you’re fired you will go back to where you came from’.

“He was arrested and later cautioned and charged to which he made no reply.”

Burns appeared in court from custody, after being remanded on June 1.

His lawyer said: “He had been drinking heavily from 2pm and had been out with a friend earlier. He was in the pub on his own and consumed a large quantity of alcohol.

“He clearly expresses remorse for the involvement in events. His partner is present in court to support him.

“A community-based disposal would be appropriate. It would be a direct alternative to custody. He advises me he would comply.”

Sheriff Allan Findlay tagged Burns and ordered him to stay within his home between 7pm-7am for three months as a direct alternative to custody.

The sheriff said: “The sentence reflects the time you spent on remand.”
