The following are tweets from Gresham about fans being racist, he mentioned Glasgow but his match took place in Edinburgh.

Fans from tonight’s event in Glasgow that think their not so clever racism is funny, you’re a sad human. And you’re one of the many things wrong with this world. You know who you are(guy in pantera shirt), fix yourself!

In a matter of hours, Gresham said he received an apology from the fans.

Unfortunately, this is something myself and many others go through regularly. I pray I see that change in my lifetime. The good news, the guy contacted me with what I feel was a genuine apology. I want to thank everyone for the kind words and for reaching out. https://t.co/cZGVkFzI4B
