A football fan has admitted doing a Nazi salute at an Airdrie and Partick Thistle match.
Lewis Baillie, 22, carried out the crime at Firhill Stadium in Glasgow's Maryhill on January 22 2022.
The Jags hosted Airdrie that day in a Scottish Cup match in which the home side went on to win 1-0 despite going down to 10 men.
Court papers state Baillie, of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, conducted himself in a disorderly manner at the stadium.
The charge says the then 19-year-old did perform a nazi salute.
The paperwork goes on to state Baillie then, while acting with another, engaged in a fight and commited breach of the peace.
Baillie pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the charge which is aggravated by religious prejudice.
A not guilty plea was accepted by the Crown to a separate charge of assaulting an unknown man by punching him to the head.
Sentence has been deferred until next month where more information surrounding the circumstances will be heard.
