British Transport Police in Scotland are appealing for information after up to 15 football fans sang offensive songs on a train over the weekend, witnessed by children and other supporters.
At about 6.45pm on Saturday around 10 or 15 football supporters boarded the Inverness to Edinburgh Waverley service.
Earlier that day Inverness Caledonian Thistle drew 3-3 with Hearts.
Throughout the journey, and after alighting at Haymarket Station, they sang songs of a Sectarian nature.
Investigating officer PC Chris Sutherland said: “This behaviour was by a small pocked of supporters on a busy train, packed with other fans and young families.
“We have a no tolerance attitude towards such behaviour, which has no place whatsoever in the game. I am appealing for anyone who saw this taking place to come forward and let us know so we can stop this behaviour from happening again.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting 222 of 30/10.
