A Scots footballer who raped a good Samaritan in her own home was jailed today for three years and nine months.

Niall Geany, 19, preyed upon the woman in the bedroom of the property in Edinburgh on March 3 2024.

Geany - who most recently played for lower league outfit Spartans - had shared a taxi with his victim after a night out with friends.

Geany found himself "stranded" near the woman's house and she invited him in to charge his mobile phone so he could arrange transport home. The right-back, of Kirkliston, near Edinburgh, attempted sexual contact with her despite knowing she had a boyfriend.

A court was told that the woman had "expressed no romance" towards him. The woman repeatedly told Geany "No" as he continued the attack upon her.
