EX-CELTIC star Chris Killen has been charged by police over claims he carried out an early morning sex attack.

The former Hoops frontman, 34, is accused of assaulting a 37-year-old woman at a house in Prestwich, Manchester.

The ex- New Zealand international will now appear at Bury Magistrates’ Court next month over the allegations.

Married Killen - who also used to play for Hibs - is believed to have been arrested earlier this week at his home in Adlington, near Macclesfield.

Police said the alleged attack was reported to have happened last Saturday.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “Shortly before 5.50am on Saturday 17 September 2016 a man entered a house in Prestwich and sexually assaulted a 37-year-old woman.

“Police launched an investigation and arrested a 35-year-old man”.

They added: “He has been bailed and is due to appear at Bury Magistrates’ Court on Friday 21 October 2016.”

Killen - who still owns a property in Glasgow from his time at Celtic - lives with wife Hannah, 34, in Adlington, near Macclesfield.

The player was not at home yesterday.

His wife refused to discuss the case, adding: “The truth will be told.”

The couple wed at luxury hotel Cameron House in Loch Lomond in 2010, although he was forced to put his honeymoon on hold as he was due to play in the World Cup shortly afterwards.

He said at the time: “It would have been nice to go straight off on a honeymoon.

“The missus would have been happier with that but she knows it’s important for my career that the World Cup is now the focus.”

The striker first moved to Scotland in 2006 when he signed for Easter Road outfit Hibs.

His impressive form at the Edinburgh side saw him move to Celtic, where he stayed until 2010.

He later followed former Bhoys boss Gordon Strachan to Middlesbrough.
