Police appeal after reported hate crime at football match

Police are appealing for information after a reported hate crime at a football match.

Footage was filmed of fans at St Mirren vs Aberdeen on Saturday, showing Aberdeen supporters appearing to mock a disabled St Mirren fan.

The video, filmed at St Mirren Park in Paisley, Renfrewshire, is being investigated as a hate crime – and police branded the footage “despicable”.

A post on social media, urging users to identify the Aberdeen fans, described it as “vile”.

Inspector Megan Logan, Paisley Police Office, said: “This was a despicable action and we are keen to trace the individuals involved.

“Anyone with information on those involved is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2164.”
