A Celtic ladies player was charged with allegedly posting a sectarian remark on her Facebook page after a Rangers fan reported the comment.
Megan McFadden, 19, allegedly wrote the "offensive and sectarian" comments on February 1, 2015 - on the day of an Old Firm game.
Rangers fan and former ladies footballer herself Alison Clark-Dick, 22, told Glasgow Sheriff Court she reported a sectarian comment with the words "dirty orange inbred monkey b*******".
She said: "never seen anything as offensive" in her life before.
McFadden, from Drumchapel, is alleged to have behaved in a threatening or abusive manner likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm by acting in an abusive manner, and posting offensive and sectarian remarks on her Facebook page.
The teenager is no longer with Celtic football club.
Miss Clark-Dick recalled being at the Rangers and Celtic game and checking her Facebook account when she saw the screenshot of the comment on a Rangers group on Facebook.
Procurator fiscal depute Lindsay Docherty asked what got her attention and the witness replied: "It was the content of the screenshot."
Miss Docherty asked: "What was it about the screenshot, the content of it that caught your attention?"
The witness said: "It was the nature of the words in the sentence on the screenshot that took me by surprise."
Miss Clark-Dick was asked what words she remembers seeing and said: "It was ‘get into these dirty orange inbred monkey b*******."
Miss Docherty asked: "What did you take the word orange to mean?"
She replied: "Protestant."
The trial continues.
