Wayne Rooney’s father was today arrested in an investigation into a betting scandal in Scottish football.Wayne Snr, 48, was arrested at his home in the West Derby area of Liverpool. The Manchester United and England striker’s uncle Richie, 54, was also arrested as a total of nine men.
United star Rooney is currently in Montenengro with the England team preparing for Friday’s crucial Euro 2012 qualifier.
The two men were among nine who were detained by police in Merseyside and Glasgow.
One of them was Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings as the investigation into match-fixing of the match between Motherwell and Hearts last year ramps up.
Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan confirmed that Jennings was arrested at his home by Merseyside Police on Thursday.
Regan says the development comes after ‘extensive enquiries’ into alleged betting irregularities in the Scottish Premier League match between Motherwell and Hearts on December 14 last year.
