Falkirk have condemned homophobic chants from fans during Tuesday's Premier Sports Cup win over Hibs. The League One club hit out at a section of their supporters who used discriminatory slurs and promised to apologise to the Easter Road club.
John McGlynn 's side turned in a terrific display to defeat their Premiership opponents at the Falkirk Stadium but club chiefs were left dismayed by abuse directed at the travelling supporters from individuals in the home end. The chants were highlighted on social media in midweek and Falkirk have now made a formal statement. They insisted the chants will not be tolerated and demanded they not be repeated.
A club statement said: "The club has been reflecting on the fantastic performance on Tuesday evening against premier league opposition. It is important to recognise the fans’ contribution in that victory, the first time in many seasons that we have had a real gutsy performance to cheer on.
