Dundee United have apologised for any offence caused when their Twitter account was hacked on Sunday.
The Tannadice club were forced to delete their twitter and Facebook after offensive posts appeared on both.
Sectarian tweets, including posts saying ‘f*** the pope’, were put on Twitter while an offensive post about Celtic superfan Jay Beattie was posted on Facebook.
Dundee United say they are investigating the incident and the accounts will remain offline until the incident is sorted.
Two twitter users with the usernames @ymmac and @bigguymessiah claimed responsibility for the hack.
The club statement said: "Unfortunately, Dundee United's social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook were both hacked during the Premiership play-off final second leg and remain offline while the club investigates the breach.
"We want to apologise for any offence that was caused by the content that was posted.
"The accounts will remain offline, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We are planning to be back online as soon as possible."
