Police are on the hunt for a group of football fans who sang “illicit and offensive songs” on a train bound for the north-east last weekend.

The British Transport Police (BTP) are looking for a group of Celtic FC supporters, who were reported after chanting on the journey from Glasgow to Aberdeen.

The incident took place following Celtic’s 0-0 Scottish Premiership clash with Hearts at Parkhead onboard the 6.41pm train on Saturday.

Fellow travellers on the journey complained about the incident, which happened between Glasgow and Stirling.

A BTP spokesman said: “British Transport Police is appealing for information after a group of Celtic supporters chanted and sang illicit and offensive songs on a train travelling between Glasgow and Stirling, following the team’s SPFL match against

Hearts on Saturday, September 26.

“They were travelling on the 6.41pm Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen service when other passengers complained to rail staff and BTP.”

Anyone with information, or can help identify those involved, should contact BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or by texting 61016. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
