A Roman Catholic priest will not face any criminal charges over allegations of historical sexual abuse after police found no evidence to support the claim.
Father Paul Morton was suspended from St Bride’s parish in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, in October while police investigated a complaint against him.
The Diocese of Motherwell said it had been told no charges would be brought.
Fr Morton will not return to ministry until he is formally approved by a canonical counsel.
St Bride’s parish is part of the Diocese of Motherwell, headed by Bishop Joseph Toal.
