Dundee United’s sporting director Tony Asghar is set to go on trial later this year after he was charged with speeding in his £65,000 Range Rover. The Tannadice football executive has denied speeding on the A919 in Fife on February 2 2021. The former police officer allegedly clocked 45 miles per hour on a stretch of the St Michael’s to Leuchars Road, which has a 30 mph limit. Asghar, 53, of Bearsden, did not appear in person when the case called at Dundee’s Justice of the Peace court on Tuesday. However, he wrote to the court to deny responsibility and a trial was fixed for the same court in December this year. Asghar denies speeding at 50% above the limit on a stretch of the A919 near its junction with the A914.
