Meldrum pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to driving while disqualified. A separate charge of driving without insurance had a not guilty plea accepted by the Crown. The court heard that Meldrum in a white Skoda Octavia was involved in a serious road traffic collision on March 23 this year.
