Hamilton Academical owner Colin McGowan has claimed a 'toxic few' of their supporters have embarrassed the club in front of the football world, amid claims of shocking 'rape and cancer chants' aimed at Accies staff.
In a nine-minute address on social media last night, Mr McGowan took aim at a minority of supporters for their recent actions, which were described earlier in the week by club chairman Allan Maitland as 'hate crimes.'
It is not clear what hate crimes - which are related to prejudice regarding race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or disabilities - the club are referring to, but comments were made towards members of the board and manager John Rankin during ugly scenes midway through the second leg of Hamilton's Championship play-off win over Alloa on Saturday.
