Van Veen departs St Mirren after charges

Striker Kevin van Veen's loan spell at St Mirren has been ended after he appeared in court last week charged with domestic abuse, the club have confirmed.

The 33-year-old entered no plea at Hamilton Sheriff Court to the charge of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive of his partner or ex-partner.

The case was continued until 28 November.

The Dutch striker joined the Paisley club in the summer on loan from FC Groningen and previously played for Kilmarnock and Motherwell.

"St Mirren can confirm that Kevin van Veen's loan has ended and he will return to his parent club FC Groningen," a statement read.
