A man has been charged in connection with the death of a “much-loved” dad following a “mass disturbance” in a South Lanarkshire street.

The 27-year-old suspect is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court later on Monday after Stuart McGeachie was allegedly assaulted outside a premises in Rutherglen’s Farmeloan Road on 24 October.

Mr McGeachie, 38, managed to make his way to a nearby flat but was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family described him as a “much-loved son, father and brother who will be greatly missed”.
