Football fans have come forward to condemn shocking footage of rival supporters clashing in a brutal street battle in Elgin this weekend.
The nine-second clip shows fans of Elgin City and Inverness Caledonian Thistle scrapping after the pair met in the Scottish Cup on Saturday.
At the start of the video, which appears to take place outside Elgin’s ground, one fan is tugged to the ground and has his head smashed on to a railing.
When the fan remains on the floor, a rival supporter can be seen kicking him in the ribs, and another punches him in the face.
In the background, some fans can be seen trading blows to the face, and others are shoved out of the view of the camera into the underpass.
The footage has been condemned by supporters of both clubs and the wider Scottish football community, with many reacting with horror on social media.
One supporter, Scozia Granata said: “Sad sad sad, not good enough to be football fans, not tough enough to be hooligans, just scrapping idiots.”
Mike Forteath added:” This was not fans this was young idiots who thought they were it nothing to do with the football none had colours just young boys creating s***.”
The video has been viewed over 169,000 times since being posted on the Scottish Football Away Fans Facebook page yesterday evening.
Last night, Police Scotland confirmed they were investigating the incident.
A spokeswoman said: “Officers are making enquiries and would appeal to anyone who saw anything or who may have footage on their phone to contact police.”
Divisional Commander for Moray Chief Inspector Stewart Mackie said: “We have been made aware of the videos circulating on social media from after the game and would encourage anyone with information to contact police as soon as possible on 101.”
Inverness won the game, which was a Scottish Cup fourth round fixture, 2-1.
