Four hunted over alleged sectarian chant at march

-

Police are looking for four men after the alleged chanting of a sectarian song during an Orange Order march.

An investigat­ion was launched after footage emerged of people singing the anti-irish “Famine Song” as the march passed through an area of Glasgow on 1 July.

Glasgowcit­ycouncilof­ficials later warned future parades could face greater restrictio­ns or even prohibitio­n. Around 4,500 people took part in the march, which celebrates Prince William of Orange’s victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
