A Rangers fan who carried out a brutal sectarian attack after celebrating her team’s title success has walked free from court. Catherine Duffy punched, kicked and stamped on an innocent train passenger, breaking her leg in two places.
The victim, 20-year-old Cayla Dyer, still suffers pain 17 months on and is awaiting further surgery. She hit out this week after watching Duffy, 19, being placed on a community payback order for what a sheriff branded “unacceptable” behaviour.
Duffy appeared at Airdrie Sheriff Court following the attack at Sunnyside train station in Coatbridge, on May 15 last year. She admitted an assault aggravated by religious prejudice that caused Cayla severe injury and permanent impairment.
