Shocking moment SPFL star SPITS at rival fan as he reacts to disgusting provocation act

THIS is the shocking moment an SPFL player became embroiled in a SPITTING MATCH with a rival fan.

In a relegation six-pointer in League Two, bottom-of-the-table Clyde scooped a valuable three points against Bonnyrigg Rose.

The man in the red hat despicably spat at Scullion

But the player reacted terribly to the situation

A double from Jordan Allan helped the Cumbernauld side close the gap to Stranraer and Bonnyrigg to just three points.

Smart Osalador had initially given hosts Bonnyrigg the lead inside the first minute of the game.

But come full-time tempers had reached boiling point at New Dundas Park.

Clyde winger Liam Scullion walked over to the home support after the final whistle and was seen arguing with some fans.

He made gestures in their direction before one supporter made his way to the front of the terracing and SPAT at Scullion.

A Bonnyrigg Rose fan who posted the clip said: “Shocking scenes at the final whistle from the Clyde player.”

However, many punters were quick to call out the Bonnyrigg supporter who spat at Scullion initially which led to the situation further escalating.

The video shows a man wearing a red beanie hat spit in the direction of Scullion, who moves his body out of the way.

He reacted by launching one back in his direction, in amongst the rest of the home support.

Scullion was the escorted away by his team mates and coaches but continued punching the air in celebration, and was then clapped off by the travelling supporters.

One observer commented: “Equally poor from the Bonnyrigg fan spitting on Scullion first but absolutely can’t retaliate like that.”

Another said: “Doesn’t matter what the idiot in the crowd does, you don’t spit at the crowd that you’ve antagonised. Long ban for you, young man.”

A third said: “To be fair some knuckledragger in the crowd spat on him first, he’ll be in bother for retaliating no doubt.”

A Bonnyrigg fan added: “Pretty f****** poor from one of our own! Hope the club identify the a******* and ban him, equally the Clyde player should have refrained from retaliating as hard as that would have been! Two wrongs!”

With plenty condemning Scullion, others called for bans to be handed out to BOTH men for the horrid incident.

One punter said: “@BonnyriggRose ban the fan and @ScottishFA ban the player.”

“I would ban the both of them for life,” said another.
