A NOTORIOUS Kilmarnock fan exposed as a child sex beast has been jailed for masturbating in front of children on a bus and threatening to rape a schoolgirl.
Gordon Sawers - who became infamous to football fans thanks to his foul-mouthed internet rants about Killie - told the child he would “rape and stab her” during the shocking incident on board the bus going between Kilmarnock and Ardrossan in Ayrshire.
However the 46-year-old claimed to Kilmarnock Sheriff Court this week his sick threats were just ‘banter’, despite admitting to not remembering much of what happened.
The court previously heard Sawers was took a seat on the top deck of the Stagecoach bus on February 25 this year when a group of schoolgirls, aged between 10 and 17, got on and sat near him.
The incident took place at around 4pm, with another passenger on the bus informing the driver of Sawers' conduct.
The police were immediately contacted and officers pulled the bus over in Kilwinning and Sawers was arrested.

Fiscal depute Fraser Alexander said sicko Sawers began a ‘sexual conversation’ with the children before telling some of the younger girls ”I will take you to my house and s**g you” and “I will inject you with heroin” before threatening he would “get with your maw”.
Sawers then targeted the youngest member of the group with sick threats saying: “I’m going to rape and stab yous and that”.
The court heard that Sawers then performed a sex act on himself, causing the horrified youngsters to be “distressed” and “visibly upset”.
His solicitor Sandy Currie told the court that Sawers had a drug problem.

He said: “At the time he had a chaotic lifestyle including drug use, which led to his behaviour and the seriousness of it.
“I can’t begin to explain or excuse it. He accepts he has very little recollection of what he said and did.”
Jailing him for two years, and a further two years on licence, Sheriff Nicola Patrick said that Sawers had “deliberately targeted the young girls”.
She added: “Because of the seriousness of these crimes, a custodial sentence is the only appropriate disposal.”
He was placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
