Court papers allege McCrindle “struggled with” Sandie and “struck her to the body with a knife or a similar implement.”
Sandie was found seriously injured in the St Mungo Avenue area but unfortunately, she later died.
Tributes poured in after Sandie’s death was pronounced.
Charmain Hunter said: “Not Sandie, she was such a lovely person.
“I met her the day she came to Ness and kept in touch since.
“Oh doll, my heart breaks for u pet. RIP Sandie, ’til we meet on the other side xoxoxo”.
Lorraine Grant stated “I’m so sorry to hear this.
“I’ll never forget the help you gave my sister, my thoughts are with your family and friends at this sad time xxx.”
McCrindle made no plea today to the murder charge at a private hearing in Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was represented by his lawyer Marco Guarino.
He was remanded in custody and committed for further examination by Sheriff Allan McKau.
McCrindle, of the city’s Townhead, will appear at court again within the next eight days.
