TNS Football Club have condemned the supporters who marred their famous win over Falkirk on Saturday.
The final whistle had barely blown and TNS players were just celebrating their 1-0 Scottish Trust Trophy win over the Scottish League One side when videos emerged of ugly scenes outside 4 Stadium Way.
Some Falkirk supporters reacted badly to being dumped out of the cup by the JD Cymru Premier champions on their own ground while the video footage also shows some travelling fans to be goading their opponents while being targeted by thrown metal fences.

Kevin Harris-James, CEO of The New Saints FC, said: "We are naturally disappointed that the semi-final was marred by issues after the game.
"The safety of fans is paramount, and we are working closely with Falkirk FC to identify the perpetrators and take the appropriate action to ensure these few individuals are dealt with and this anti-social behaviour is stamped out of the game."
