‘Innocent’ Higgins set to learn fate

JOHN HIGGINS is set to learn his fate today as the two-day tribunal to determine whether he conspired to fix matches comes to a close.

Former world number one Higgins yesterday spent around nine hours defending himself against those allegations on day one of the hearing in central London.

The 35-year-old’s agent this morning reiterated his client’s innocence, saying: “John Higgins is 100% innocent of any aspect of match-fixing.”
