A man is to stand trial next year charged with raping a 14-year-old girl.

Samuel Ciornei is accused of attacking the teenager near the Asda supermarket in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, in August.

The charge includes claims the 20-year-old took hold of her bike, grabbed the girl by the hair before holding a piece of glass at her.

Prosecutors allege he made her crawl into bushes and held her down before eventually raping the 14 year-old.

Ciornei faces a separate assault and robbery charge. The accusation includes claims he "forcibly" took the girl's bag and stole it along with a bike helmet.

A number of locations in Barrhead are listed in the charges - one being an "an area of bushes" at the back of an Iceland supermarket.

Louise Arrol, defending, pleaded not guilty on his client's behalf during a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Judge Lord Burns set a trial due to start next June. The case could last up to seven days.
