A former Partick Thistle youth goalkeeper has appeared in court charged with the death of a barman in Glasgow city centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luis Cameron, 19, allegedly assaulted Daniel Colrain, 21, at Royal Exchange Square in the early hours of Sunday, October 4.<\/p>\n

Court papers state Cameron, of Paisley, Renfrewshire, punched Mr Colrain on the head.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that this rendered him unconscious and that he fell then struck his head off the ground.<\/p>\n

A second allegation says Cameron attempted to pervert the course of justice by booking a flight from Glasgow to Dubai on October 4.<\/p>\n

He is stated to have left the scene of the assault, attended the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley and pretended that he injured his hand by hitting a wall.<\/p>\n

The charge goes on to say that he then went to Glasgow Airport in an attempt to avoid capture and prosecution for the culpable homicide charge.<\/p>\n

Mr Colrain was found with serious injuries around 3.05am on Sunday morning and died in hospital the following day. His family are being supported by specialist officers.<\/p>\n

Cameron\u2019s most recent club is United Arab Emirates team Arabian Falcons after sealing a free transfer in July this year.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old, who played in Partick Thistle\u2019s youth set up, has also appeared for junior outfit Drumchapel United on loan.<\/p>\n

Cameron made no plea during a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court and was represented by his lawyer Paul Sweeney.<\/p>\n

He was granted bail and committed for further examination by Sheriff Helen McGinty. Cameron will appear at court again at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u2018Completely heartbroken\u2019<\/p>\n

Tributes were paid to Mr Colrain after his death which included his former employers, The Smiddy Bar, in the city\u2019s Cathcart.<\/p>\n

The pub has also launched a fundraiser to help cover the costs of his funeral.<\/p>\n

A statement said: \u201cWe are completely heartbroken to share that our dear colleague and friend, Daniel, has passed away.<\/p>\n

\u201dTo know Daniel was to experience his warmth and kindness firsthand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past three years at The Smiddy, he built wonderful friendships with every member of our staff and became a cherished part of our close-knit group.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knew all of our regulars by name, chatted with them for hours, and was a beloved presence in the community where he grew up.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought so much light to our team and will be dearly, dearly missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this difficult time, we are raising funds to support Daniel\u2019s family and assist with his funeral and memorial arrangements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are able to contribute or share this page, any support would be deeply appreciated. All of our thoughts, love, and condolences are with his family.\u201d<\/p>\n
