Scotland international Garry O'Connor was arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine. The 28-year-old striker, who started his career at Hibernian and has also played for Birmingham and Lokomotiv Moscow, was allegedly caught with the Class A drug in Edinburgh during the early hours of Saturday morning.
