SECTARIAN and offensive graffiti scrawled in the city centre is being investigated by police.

Members of the public spotted the foul scribbling on a number of buildings in Nelson Mandela Place and Glassford Street over the weekend.

The remarks, which read 'Hun c***s*', 'Hun scum' and 'RIP RFC' appeared in large black letters on several derelict buildings.

Commuters and shoppers stopped to stare at the vile scrawl as they walked past earlier today, with many commenting that it should be removed.

One shocked passerby who spotted the graffiti this morning, said: "It's just awful.

"I was really surprised to come across it.

“Unfortunately, there is still an undercurrent of sectarianism in the city, and it’s completely uncalled for.

“It’s such a stupid and ignorant thing to do.”

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said is the force were aware of the graffiti and are now investigating.
