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 National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
