Buildings across Clydebank have been seen vandalised with sectarian graffiti on the day of the first Rangers v Celtic football match of the season.
Kilpatrick area councillor Lawrence O'Neill tweeted on Sunday reporting offensive graffiti on a building in Hawthorn Street near the junction of Duntocher Road.
Social media users replied saying they had seen similar graffiti on Scott Street, First Terrace, Milton Mains Road and on an electricity building in Parkhall.
Councillor O'Neill asked West Dunbartonshire Council to remove the vandalism immediately.
He said on social media: "Can this be removed as a matter of extreme urgency? Hawthorn Street near junction of Duntocher Rd, Clydebank."
He told the Post: "This type of graffiti shows a poisonous mindset of those that perpetrate it - this is not on and any right minded individual knows that.
"Hopefully the CCTV locally may pick up those that are responsible for it."
The Post reported in June that the depute provost of West Dunbartonshire, Karen Conaghan, had called for a new effort to stamp out racist and sectarian abuse across the area.
The subject was discussed at a full council meeting last week.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received reports of offensive graffiti on a wall on Hawthorn Street at Duntocher Road in Clydebank on Sunday, August 29, 2021. Enquiries are ongoing.”
