A man has been arrested over alleged offensive comments made during Hearts v Kilmarnock.

Police said the 48-year-old was held over alleged "xenophobic comments" during the match at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday.

Kilmarnock striker Josh Magennis had made a complaint to police about alleged abuse at the game.

The 48-year-old has been charged with offensive behaviour at football and an offence under the Threatening Communications Act.

He has been set bail conditions, including not to be within half a mile of Tynecastle Stadium, or any other ground where Hearts are playing, for two hours before the match until two hours after it has finished.

He will appear in court at a later date.

Constable Gavin Stupart said: “Since Kilmarnock FC reported this matter we have been carrying our extensive inquiries alongside Hearts and I would like to thank them for their assistance and support now that we have made an arrest.

“Offensive behaviour at football matches will not be tolerated and whenever we identify those responsible we will ensure they are brought before the court.

“We will also seek special bail conditions and banning orders to prevent offenders from attending further football matches.”
