Nile Ranger leaving Ealing Magistrates Court, London, May 10
Former Premier League striker Nile Ranger has admitted obstructing a police officer after being pulled over for drink driving on Christmas Eve - and his club now say they are severing all ties with him after he failed to attend physiotherapy sessions.
