British Transport Police are investigating an incident that saw a person assaulted and left with facial injures on a Dundee-bound train.
Police are hunting a group of Celtic supporters who reportedly belted out a series of sectarian songs on a Glasgow-Perth train.
The men are believed to have been on their way home from a Europa League clash between Celtic and Inter Milan on Thursday, February 19.
British Transport Police said that, according to “disgusted” passengers, the singing broke out as the 23:36 service travelled between Gleneagles and Perth shortly after midnight.
Constable John McErlane, who is leading the inquiry, said that such behaviour would not be tolerated and pleaded for any witnesses to get in touch.
“It is believed the men were returning from a Europa League match in Glasgow,” he said. “There really is no need for such unsavoury behaviour on the rail network and the actions of the men disgusted other passengers, prompting complaints.
“I am anxious to speak with anyone who witnessed it to get in touch.”
The game at Celtic Park ended in a 3-3 draw.
