We are aware of the appalling incident that happened after our game with Stenhousemuir yesterday when a brick was thrown at a visiting supporter’s bus window.

As a club we cannot and will not tolerate such idiotic and irresponsible behavior. While it took place away from the stadium, the juveniles involved were videoed wearing our colours. We can’t allow these individuals to tarnish the reputation of Queen of the South FC and our genuine supporters. There is no place within our club or society for such dangerous behavior and once those responsible have been identified we will be issuing banning orders to keep them away.

We have invested a lot of time working with young supporters as we know they are the life blood and future of the club so we are extremely disappointed and angry that this one incident has set that process back.

Everyone is entitled to attend matches safely and with respect. We would like to apologise to Stenhousemuir FC and to their supporters who were caught up in the mindless incident and are grateful that no one was injured.

The video is in the hands of Police Scotland.
