Cumnock address 'hurtful and damaging' stories circulating on social media

Cumnock chiefs have addressed 'hurtful and damaging' stories circulating on social media.

The club spoke out following the side's Scottish Junior Cup win against Rutherglen Glencairn last weekend.

Social media has been littered with rumours relating to the alleged conduct of 'Nock's cup heroes following the game on Friday night.

A statement issued by bosses at the Ayrshire club said that all claims are 'false' following on from a 'consultation' into the matter.

A statement issued by the club said: "It has come to the club's attention that stories are circulating on social media platforms that are both hurtful and damaging, not just to the football club, but to all parties purported to be involved.

"After consultation with all parties, the club have found no evidence, based on recent social media postings, or from any footage, that bears any semblance to or that could support those social media postings. The club are satisfied that the claims made are false.

"At this time the club requests that before commenting on any stories circulating, individuals give thought to the hugely negative and potentially harmful effect social media can have on individuals lives before it becomes more serious.

"The club will not be commenting any further and are now looking forward to next season."
