A Scottish junior football team have been left gutted after their pitch was set on fire by heartless vandals, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Dunipace Football Club, an East of Scotland First Division side, spent eight years fundraising for the astroturf pitch - which they say makes this blaze even more gut wrenching. The club have now appealed for information after the pitch at Westfield Park was set ablaze.
It will set the club back an estimated six figures in damages. However, the Scottish football community has already started to rally round the side, which has been left to count the cost of costly actions from thoughtless vandals.
