The father of a young teen who he alleges was racially abused by an adult has opened up on the ordeal and has demanded action from league authorities and Police Scotland.
Jamie Macgregor, from the Gyle, claims that his son Lucas Macdonald, 13, was racially abused during the game between Edinburgh City 2009s and Currie Star 2009’s at Malleny Park in Balerno last Sunday morning (August 21). He says that a man made monkey gestures from the touchline in the last ten minutes of the match after Lucas had kicked a ball away in frustration.
Police are now investigating after the the young footballer was left in tears at the full time whistle. Lucas was said to be broken by the alleged verbal attack but his father says that he is thankful for the support he has received from ex-Hibs legend Marvin Bartley and his teammates at Edinburgh City 2009s.
