A man has been arrested in connection with alleged racist comments made against two Rangers players on Twitter.
Strathclyde Police investigated claims that Maurice Edu and Kyle Bartley were subjected to abuse on the social networking site.
Bartley tweeted in response: "Disappointing that in 2012 things like this are still happening. Hopefully the police will take action."
A police spokeswoman said a 41-year-old man had been arrested and was detained in custody.
"Strathclyde Police continually monitor social networking sites and any reports of criminality will be thoroughly investigated and persons responsible will be dealt with," the spokeswoman added.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
