British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses after a group of men sang songs of a sectarian nature on a Glasgow train.
The incident happened on Thursday, February 19, on the Glasgow Queen Street to Perth train.
British Transport Police say it is believed the men were returning from Celtic's Europa League match against Inter Milan at Parkhead.
The singing is believed to have happened as the 11.36pm service travelled between Gleneagles and Perth shortly after midnight.
British Transport Police Constable John McErlane, the officer in charge of the enquiry, said that this behaviour will not be tolerated, and is appealing for anyone who was on the train and has information to come forward.
He said: "It is believed the men were returning from a Europa League match in Glasgow.
"There really is no need for such unsavoury behaviour on the rail network and the actions of the men disgusted other passengers, prompting complaints and I am anxious to speak with anyone who witnessed it to get in touch."
