COPS have launched an appeal for info as they hunt bigoted thugs who attacked Rangers media boss Jim Traynor.

The two louts hurled abuse then threw a stone at Mr Traynor, 66, as he walked down a street.

They ran off in the direction of Palacerigg Golf Club after the attack in Cumbernauld at about 3.15pm on Wednesday.

"It was an outrageous attack. The guy was minding his own business and they just appeared and targeted him on the street.

"It's disgraceful that this could happen."

Police described the suspects as being in their early 20s and wearing dark clothing with baseball caps and snoods.

Sergeant Christopher O’Neill, of Cumbernauld Police Station, said: “We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time who witnessed this to contact us.

"If anyone near the golf club saw anyone fitting this description, please contact us.”
