Five people have appeared in court accused of murdering a man in the east end of Glasgow.

Robert Greig, 30, Kieran Crawford and Jamie Fullerton, both 19, along with a 15-year-old and 17-year-old boy, allegedly attacked Craig Watson in Dennistoun on Sunday.

Court papers say they chased Mr Watson as well as repeatedly punching and kicking him on the head and body.

The 39-year-old was pronounced dead at Whitevale Gardens at about midnight.

None of the accused made a plea at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. They were committed for further examination.

Greig was remanded in custody while the others were granted bail.
