Police have launched an investigation into the incident at Saturday's new Firm derby.

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.

Player punished by referee

The incident earned Ojo a second yellow card and a sending off.

It’s understood the fan was later escorted out of the Eddie Thompson Stand behind the goal by stewards.

Police have confirmed on Saturday evening that officers have launched an investigation into the incident.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are aware of an incident involving an Aberdeen FC player and a Dundee United fan during the match at Tannadice Park in Dundee on Saturday, November 20, 2021.

“Inquiries into the incident are ongoing.”

Meanwhile, Dundee United have confirmed they will also be reviewing footage of the incident.

A statement posted on the club’s website on Saturday evening said: “Dundee United can confirm that an investigation has commenced into an incident during today’s game.

“We will make no further comment at this time.”
