Motherwell striker Michael Higdon has been arrested over an alleged assault hours after being crowned Scotland's Player of the Year.
The 29-year-old was held after a disturbance at the Corinthian nightclub in Glasgow in the early hours.
BBC Scotland understands Higdon was released from police custody at 09:00.
He was named Professional Footballers' Association Scotland Player of the Year at a ceremony on Sunday night.
Higdon is the Scottish Premier League's top scorer this season, having netted 26 league goals for Motherwell, BBC reported.
Liverpool-born Higdon had been due to meet journalists for a media conference at 08:30 on Monday, but the event was cancelled.
He won the award voted for by his peers ahead of Leigh Griffiths of Hibernian, Andrew Shinnie of Inverness and Aberdeen forward Niall McGinn.
Higdon has described this season as the "best of his career" and credited his success to "confidence, playing in a good team and having a manager who believes in me".
He began his career at Crewe before moving to Scotland to sign for Falkirk in 2007.
