Football fans booted off Stena Line ferry
Forty football fans were escorted off a Stena Line ferry after police were called to complaints of ‘unacceptable behaviour’.
The fans were removed from the ferry before it left Cairnryan, southwest Scotland on Saturday night, bound for Belfast.
They were returning to Northern Ireland after a Celtic match in Glasgow, according to Belfast Live.
Police Scotland said three people were arrested for alleged public order offences, before the group later sailed on another ferry the next morning ‘without issue’.
A Stena Line spokeswoman said: "Following an unacceptable level of behaviour from football fans on-board the Stena Line vessel, due to depart Cairnryan at 11pm on Saturday 23 November to Belfast, the captain called police in Cairnryan for assistance to escort the group off the ship before sailing.
"Stena Line has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to staff or customer abuse and will refuse travel to anyone who contravenes this policy thus ensuring the safety and comfort of its passengers and crew."
