Partick Thistle have out at the alleged racist abuse of player Tomi Adeloye from their own support.
Kris Doolan's men lost 4-3 against Ayr United as Scott Brown's side came out on top in the seven goal thriller.
Reports have since emerged of racist abuse directed towards Adeloye from the away end.
A club statement read: ""Partick Thistle is appalled to have learned of an alleged incident of racist abuse during Tuesday night’s cinch Championship fixture against Ayr United.
"It is particularly disappointing that the racial abuse, directed towards Tomi Adeloye, has emerged from a Partick Thistle supporting area of Somerset Park.
"Partick Thistle Football Club finds any form of discriminatory behaviour totally abhorrent. It has no place at our club or in any of our communities.
"Partick Thistle has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism and will do everything possible to ensure no incidents of racist abuse take place at Partick Thistle games, both home and away.
"The club will continue to investigate this incident and, if identified, this individual will face the strongest action from the club."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
