He said: "Any graffiti is unacceptable but the sectarian nature of this graffiti makes it particularly concerning. The fact it has appeared on a busy path to Silverburn by a housing area with lots of families is also concerning.
"I’ve asked the Council’s Environmental Taskforce to attend to this as a priority given the nature of what has been written as well as reporting to the local police for monitoring.
"Where people spot graffiti, I’d urge them to report it not only to get it cleaned up but help authorities build up enough information to catch those who are carrying out this mindless vandalism.”
