Police are investigating claims that football fans shouted abuse at cricket players during a match in Edinburgh that was later abandoned.

Murrayfield DAFS Cricket Club said players were subjected to "a combination of sexist, homophobic and racist abuse" during the match against Stewart's Melville Cricket Club at Roseburn Park on Saturday.

The club said this happened while Rangers and Manchester United fans were walking to a nearby friendly. It also claimed two cricket players were assaulted and that police did not intervene.

The force said it was investigating claims of abuse but it had not received any complaints about police inaction.
