Ministers said there was not enough time to draw up a law which reflects the recent Supreme Court judgement on the definition of a woman, and instead plan to amend existing hate crime legislation to provide protections on the basis of sex.

Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime after a clip was posted on social media following the match at St Mirren's stadium on Saturday.

De la Peña says she was sexually assaulted, beaten with a skateboard and pepper-sprayed in a series of incidents that police have labeled a suspected hate crime.

"The stuff they are posting is absolutely ludicrous, in fact it's bordering on hate crime," Danny, who won't give his surname, tells me.

Instead, the Scottish government will amend existing hate crime legislation in September, to make sex a protected characteristic.
