Football fans 'try to storm rival players' changing room after penalty shootout'

Football fans confronted a rival club's players and tried to storm their changing room after a dramatic penalty shootout, it is claimed.

There were ugly scenes at the end of the Junior Cup tie in Ayrshire, south-west Scotland, on Saturday afternoon.

Trouble erupted after Irvine Meadow defeated Glenafton Athletic at Loch Park in New Cumnock.

Jubilant Meadow players were leaving when they were confronted by a group of about 15 Glenafton supporters, the Irvine Herald reports.

The Glenafton fans were gathered outside the changing rooms after watching the shootout.

Some of the fans tried to force their way into the block after the players as a scuffle ensued, it is claimed.

Glenafton officials rushed in and tried to keep the supporters away from the players.

The officials eventually managed to force the door shut and the supporters left.

It came after Meadow won 4-2 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Meadow have advanced to the last 16 of the Scottish Junior Cup.

Police Scotland said it had no record of being called to the incident.

In the Premier League, Manchester City have said they are "aware of a video circulating on social media which appears to show a supporter making racial gestures" during their derby with Manchester United .

The club also said they are "working with Greater Manchester Police in order to help them identify any individuals concerned".

The alleged incident occurred in the second half of City's 2-1 defeat at the Etihad as a supporter appeared to make a monkey gesture towards a United player.
