Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told fellow passengers left the carriage in disgust during the journey.
The four fans, all from Edinburgh, had originally been charged with singing sectarian songs but this was deleted from the charge along with a further allegation that the offence was aggravated by religious prejudice.
