Vile sectarian graffiti was scrawled across the wall of a building near Glasgow.
Police have launched a probe after the message "all T**** are targets" was spotted on Hawthorn Street near junction for Duntocher Road in Clydebank.
Shortly before the Rangers and Celtic match kicked off at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday afternoon, local councillor Lawrence O’Neill urged its removal as "a matter of extreme urgency".
The disgusted Labour politician for the Kilpatrick area took to social media to report the vandalism and ask West Dunbartonshire Council to remove it.
In a post on Twitter, he said: "@WDCouncil can this be removed as a matter of extreme urgency?
"Hawthorn Street near junction of Duntocher Rd, Clydebank."
Another Twitter user then told in the comments of more graffiti in Scott Street in Dalmuir which read 'kill all T****!'.
While another, with the same message, was also reportedly spotted at Milton Mains Road substation in Clydebank.
The councillor said both would also be reported adding: “Thanks for the additional information, this will be reported too.”
Police officers confirmed the graffiti on Hawthorn Street was reported and said their enquiries are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson, told The Sun: "We received reports of offensive graffiti on a wall on Hawthorn Street at Duntocher Road in Clydebank on Sunday, 29 August, 2021.
