The incident took place during a meeting between the sides on February 11 at Dens Park.

Police Scotland says he will be subject to conditions not to enter or attend any regulated football match within the UK.

Police seek football banning order over pyrotechnics at Dundee v St Johnstone game

Officers will also request a football banning order.

Constable Neil Aitkenhead said: “Taking pyrotechnics into a sporting stadium is a criminal offence.

“I’d ask people to think of the impact it could have on those around you, particularly people with medical conditions, young children and elderly.

“We will continue to work in partnership with football clubs to prevent fans from taking pyrotechnics into grounds and to pursue those who put other fans’ safety at risk.”
