A DUP MP has said he and his wife were subjected to "sectarian abuse" by Celtic supporters during a ferry crossing from Scotland.
Gregory Campbell said he deliberately timed his journey to avoid football fans but a small number were on board.
Mr Campbell said the incident on 15 September was upsetting for his wife.
"Two individuals on two separate occasions individually engaged in foul-mouth sectarian abuse," said the East Londonderry MP.
"I'm used to that from time to time because I'm in the political game, but I didn't think it was the appropriate thing for my wife to endure."
Mr Campbell added there was "no problem or difficulty" with the vast majority of fans on the ferry.
