Stirling have blasted what they’ve say went ‘far, far beyond’ an acceptable level of criticism.
The club say they aware of who made the post and say they will be banned.
Stirling said: “The Club is aware of a post made on X/Twitter last Saturday.
“The post was an image of a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob with employees of our Club edited in to be hanging from a tree.
“This is utterly abhorrent behaviour and we are disgusted that someone who purports to support the Club thought it acceptable.
“Everyone is of course entitled to their opinion and to air their criticism but this is far, far beyond that.
“We have a duty of care to our employees and we know who the perpetrator was. We have reported it to the police and the perpetrator will be banned.
“Those who think it amusing to post images such as these need to realise that posting malicious material which is grossly offensive or threatening is potentially a criminal offence.
“Further, we should all be well aware of the devastating impact of online bullying and harassment.
“Please stop, think and consider others before you post.”
SunSport have contacted Police Scotland regarding the matter.
