Police are investigating after a Dundee United fan clashed with an Aberdeen player in an incident at Tannadice on Saturday.
The flashpoint towards the end of a frenetic first half involved Dons midfielder Funso Ojo.
As Ojo chased the ball, his momentum carried him over the advertising boards towards supporters in the Eddie Thompson Stand.
