FORMER Aberdeen star Dean Windass is facing the threat of bankruptcy over an unpaid £150,000 bill.
Windass – who spent three years with the Dons between 1995 and 1998 – was not at the hearing but was represented by barrister Sri Carmichael.
The 47-year-old’s preliminary hearing was heard in London on Monday with another scheduled for December.
The striker’s son Josh is currently with Rangers after the midfielder joined from Accrington Stanley in the summer.
Another hearing is scheduled for December.
Striker Windass made more than 600 appearances and scored more than 200 goals in a career which began in the early 1990s and lasted around 18 years.
He played for more than half a dozen clubs, including Hull, Bradford, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United as well as three-year spell at Pittodrie.
