The Scottish Football Association have responded to reports that Hugh Dallas sent an offensive email about the Pope by saying they will deal with the matter internally.
A newspaper report at the weekend claimed the SFA's head of referee development had used his work email account to forward on a "tasteless message" about the Pope's visit to Glasgow.
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan confirmed he launched his own investigation into the allegations, and said in a statement: "I can confirm I have looked into the circulation of the email reported in the media at the weekend. Let me state categorically that I do not condone the transmission of any email content that might cause offence to anyone."
The statement continued: "I have spoken with staff and the matter will now be dealt with internally, in line with the Scottish FA's Information Systems Acceptable Use Policy."
