Lyon's team bus has been vandalised ahead of the Europa League tie against Rangers.
The branded vehicle was shipped over to the UK ahead of Thursday night's fixture but was damaged in transit.
Journalist Florent Caffery has reported that "several hundred Parisians" were also on board the ship heading to England.

The words 'Paris' and 'PSG' can clearly be seen with PSG-style stickers also visible.
It's claimed the boat's captain had to intervene to prevent further damage to the bus while on board the ship.
