Jack Dragsnes, of Possilpark, made no plea at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday and was remanded in custody by Sheriff Iain Fleming. Court papers allege he produced a knife during a stand-up fight involving Jack Mellon and a 16-year-old boy and stabbed Mellon repeatedly in the body. Dragsnes also faces a charge of hiding the knife with intent to pervert the course of justice, along with possession of a blade in a public place.

Mellon was pronounced dead at the scene on Ashgill Road in Milton on Wednesday evening after emergency services were called to reports of a disturbance.

Dragsnes must return to court within eight days; he was represented at Friday's private hearing by lawyer Ian Sievwright.

'A part of my heart has gone with you,' Mellon's brother James wrote online, inviting family and friends to a balloon release at Hamiltonhill Park on Sunday evening.
