A Rangers fan who carried out a brutal sectarian attack after celebrating her team’s title success has walked free from court. Catherine Duffy punched, kicked and stamped on an innocent train passenger, breaking her leg in two places.
The victim, 20-year-old Cayla Dyer, still suffers pain 17 months on and is awaiting further surgery. She hit out this week after watching Duffy, 19, being placed on a community payback order for what a sheriff branded “unacceptable” behaviour.
Duffy appeared at Airdrie Sheriff Court following the attack at Sunnyside train station in Coatbridge, on May 15 last year. She admitted an assault aggravated by religious prejudice that caused Cayla severe injury and permanent impairment.
It happened hours after Rangers had thumped Aberdeen 4-0 to end a historic season unbeaten. Cayla, a debt adviser, and a friend were waiting at the busy station to take a train to Glasgow when she was attacked by Duffy, who was draped in a Rangers flag.
She said: “It all happened very quickly. A sectarian slur was shouted. I think Duffy thought it was me calling her a name but it wasn’t. I’m not that kind of person.”
Cayla was left in agony on the platform after she was pulled to the ground, punched and kicked repeatedly and stamped on. She was taken to hospital where medics found both her fibia and tibia had been fractured.
Cayla said: “I went through an operation and a metal rod and pins were put in my leg. I was in hospital for 10 days and then on crutches for weeks. I couldn’t go back to work until August.
“Even now, my leg is sore and I can’t walk for long periods of time. I used to enjoy running but I can’t do that now. I’m due to get further surgery in the next month or so and the doctor hopes that will help.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Saturday Night Live” opened its third episode of the season by taking on Jan. 6 committee hearings, starting Kenan Thompson as United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS). And the theme of the sketch was quite simple: No matter how bad the attempts to stage a coup and overthrow the nation were, there’s no accountability in this country… and nothing will ultimately come of it. Donald Trump will roam free, there’s little chance he’ll actually live up to the subpoena to appear in front of the committee, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Liz Cheney, played by Heidi Gardner, noted that “Over the past few months, this bipartisan committee has presented our case to all Americans. Whether you’re a Republican who’s not watching or a Democrat who’s nodding so hard your head is falling off, one person is responsible for this insurrection: Donald Trump. And one person will suffer the consequences: Me. You might be wondering what makes me so tough. And I asked you who was your dad? … You could say I have big Dick Cheney energy.”
