The case called last month where it emerged van Veen was set to be seen by psychiatrists. Today, the court heard he had been assessed but that a final report had not been provided to his legal team. Van Veen, who recently signed for Dutch club FC Eindhoven, was not in the dock for the brief hearing and is understood to be back in the Netherlands. He played in Scotland for Motherwell, Kilmarnock and St Mirren, with the latter ripping up his contract when the allegations first came to light. Sheriff Shirley McKenna said he should be present when the case calls next week. Andy Thomson, defending, said: "We were waiting on a psychiatric report and he has been seen. "It is suggested that this case be continued until next week where we will furnish the court and the Crown with the report and can decide the course of action." Sheriff McKenna said: "He needs to be here. "He has not been here the last couple of times, I understand he is not in the country but he needs to be here if there is to be resolution unless there is going to be an examination of facts." Depute fiscal Scott O'Connor said he had 'no difficulties' with the case being continued. A trial had earlier heard Van Veen's ex-girlfriend, 33, allege he twisted her wrist at his home in Uddingston, Lanarkshire. She further alleged a holiday in Mexico was 'two weeks of mental torture' because of him 'shouting and screaming' in her face as well as being accused of being a 'slag and a slut' over a dress he deemed too tight. And she claimed that he kept tabs on her Instagram account in case she had liked photos of other men. He faces one charge under domestic abuse laws which alleges incidents between September 2021 and July last year. Prosecutors allege he repeatedly prevented her from sleeping and turned up at the homes of her family members and refused to leave when asked. The footballer is said to have repeatedly demanded that she attend at his property and persistently called and texted her and her family members. He is also accused of locking her inside his home.
