COPS are probing a tweet by a senior SNP councillor which claimed Scotland hated the UK during a Eurovision rant - after receiving hundreds of complaints.
Rhiannon Spear - who is the SNP’s national women’s convener - was blasted over her comments made after the country’s entry flopped in the competition’s finale and finished last.

Ms Spear has deleted the tweet and apologised
The Glasgow councillor - who is in charge of the city’s education policy - posted on Saturday: ‘‘It’s ok Europe we hate the United Kingdom too. Love, Scotland.’’
Her post sparked furious backlash, with a flurry of social media users replying to her describing their outrage.
