Nir Bitton returned to Israel after years in Scotland, but the experienced midfielder of Maccabi Tel Aviv has unresolved issues in the UK. Today (Tuesday) they report b-“Glasgow Times” The Scotsman about Beaton now being in the country and being tried for a traffic offence.
Beaton was caught speeding on an interstate in Scotland, going 150 km/h in a suspected 80 km/h zone in 2019. Today he pleaded guilty to his first traffic offense.
Beaton’s attorney, Dale Hughes, claimed: “Beaton came from Israel to Scotland specifically for the case. He is remorseful and embarrassed, he is a law-abiding citizen who wants to put the matter behind him. He does not enjoy the same financial conditions that he had at Celtic, but he can pay a fine.”
Beaton was fined 4,500 pounds, about 18,500 NIS, in addition to 9 points. The judge emphasized that because Beaton admitted to the offense, his license was not revoked.
