A luxury Ayrshire hotel has apologised after one of its chefs caused outrage on social media after he called Celtic fans 'scum' on Twitter.
Scott Mcqueen- who works at Seamill Hydro- also branded Hoops fans "c****" who should be "round up like cattle and shipped off to a muslim country."
The Hotel has since taken to Twitter to publicly apologise for Mcqueen's actions.
Bosses posted: "Thank you to all who have brought a personal post from an employee to our attention, it is disgusting, offensive and entirely unacceptable.
"Seamill Hydro would like to offer an unreserved apology for the obvious offence caused by the personal post of an individual employee."

"This matter is now under investigation subject to our disciplinary procedures and no comment on individual cases can be made.
"Seamill Hydro has been serving Scotland for generations and the views expressed by an individual do not reflect those of the 200+ employees.
The Victorian hotel was regularly used by Celtic and the club's 1967 European Cup-winning side.
On the hotel's website it says it is "one of the best loved and most popular family hotels in Ayrshire".
