A teenager has appeared in court charged with raping a 14-year-old girl in East Renfrewshire.

Samuel Ciornei, 19, appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court on Wednesday accused of attacking the girl near an Asda store in Barrhead's Main Street on Sunday night.

He also faces a charge of theft.

The 19-year-old made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.

He is due back in court for a further hearing next week.
