Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott will stand trial next year over allegations of child sex abuse.

Dott, 48, is accused of two charges relating to primary school-age children.

The allegations span between 1993 and 1996 involving a girl, and 2006 to 2010 involving a boy, both in the Glasgow region.

A virtual hearing at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday was told Dott, who was not present, denies the charges.
