Following a 1-1 draw against Arbroath, Morton FC has issued a statement addressing the concerning scenes that occurred outside Gayfield Park on Friday night. The club is working closely with both Arbroath and local police to identify those responsible for the disturbance.
The match ended in a deadlock, but it was marred by incidents involving fans. A spokesperson from Morton said: 'We thank the majority of our supporters who travelled through in horrendous conditions to back the team to a hard-earned point.'
Morton's club official, Martin, was present during the events and praised his efforts. The club emphasized that this behavior is unacceptable and can have both reputational and financial impacts.
Arbroath FC also issued a statement expressing disappointment with the 'unsavoury events' that took place after their match against Morton. The statement noted that free tickets were offered to Arbroath's under-17s in an attempt to create noise and passion, but unfortunately, the actions of a minority overshadowed these efforts.
Arbroath is working with authorities to identify individuals involved in the incident outside Gayfield Park at full time. Both clubs hope this will help prevent further negative press and protect their positive reputations among supporters.
The Telegraph has reached out to Police Scotland for additional comments on the matter.
