Claims that an Elgin City supporter was involved in racial abuse at a match has been investigated by the club.
A statement issued this week by the Moray club said: "We were very disappointed to receive an allegation of racial abuse by one of our supporters in a recent home match.
"Such behaviour is completely unacceptable and has no place at our football club or anywhere in society.
"We have thoroughly investigated this allegation; however, we cannot identify this person.
"To be clear should we witness any discriminative, racial, or sectarian behaviour from any supporter within our grounds we will issue an immediate lifetime ban from the stadium and the person concerned will be reported to the police.
"We pride ourselves on being a community-based football club with one of the best followings in the lower leagues and we hope this is the last time we have to issue a statement like this."
Kelty Hearts manager Kevin Thomson claimed on social media that he was the victim of sectarian abuse during his team's recent visit to Elgin.
