Francis Cairney, 87, is charged with indecently assaulting one boy in the late 1970s and another in the 1980s.
Prosecutors are to seek reports into whether a man accused of indecently assaulting a teenager at Celtic Par k and another at the club's former training ground is fit to stand trial, a court has heard.
Glasgow Sheriff Court previously heard that Cairney has dementia and questions were raised over whether he would be fit to stand trial. He said: "Mr Cairney is not present today, he has significant health difficulties. He pleads not guilty. He has mental health difficulties and the Crown are to instruct a Crown report into his fitness to stand trial."
It is alleged that Cairney, from Uddingston, indecently assaulted a boy then aged between 15 and 16 in a car in Paisley and in the dressing rooms at Barrowfield training ground, Celtic's former training ground in Glasgow, on various occasions between July 1978 and June 1979.
