Jamie later passed away at the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital that day.
Sweeney faces a separate charge of then attempting to defeat the ends of justice including claims he got rid of a knife and hid clothes in a pram.
Sweeney appeared via video-link for a short hearing today at the High Court in Glasgow.

No trial was fixed. Lord Fairley instead adjourned for another hearing in May.
