Cuthbert joined Swindon from Celtic in 2009

Swindon Town defender Scott Cuthbert has criticised a small number of fans following their 1-0 defeat at Plymouth which leaves them bottom of League One.

The 23-year-old went over with his team mates after the match to thank the supporters but was surprised by the reaction of a few.

"You go over there to clap the fans and two or three are giving you abuse," Cuthbert told BBC Wiltshire.

"If so-called fans want to come to the games they need to support us."

Cuthbert continued: "After the games you're trying to clap the majority of the fans to show them your reaction to how well they've supported you and then you get people doing that.

We feel we can get out of this situation and the gaffer [Paul Hart] has come in and he's been brilliant Scott Cuthbert

"It's things like that, that have a bit of a negative vibe on the team and we need to cut that out."

Swindon's next game is a relegation six-pointer against fellow strugglers Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday at the County Ground.

"Every game is massive now and we've got 11 cup finals," added Cuthbert.

"We feel we can get out of this situation and the gaffer [Paul Hart] has come in and he's been brilliant."

"He's been really positive and continues to be so and hopefully we can turn that into results on a Saturday."
