Both Dundee football clubs have been shown the red card by food hygiene inspectors assessing their kitchens.
Dundee United FC and Dundee FC were slammed by inspectors investigating food and hygiene standards at the catering facilities in their stadiums.
At Dundee United’s home, the 14,000-capacity Tannadice Stadium, inspectors found mould growing on the bars of a broken and filthy extraction vent.
Inspectors also discovered cobwebs in other kitchen units and there were no hand washing facilities in the players’ lounge, where pies are often served.
In another area, inspectors found “no evidence” that staff washed their hands.
Local rivals Dundee Football Club fared no better, with the 11,500-capacity Dens Park failing a hygiene inspection in February.
Inspectors found mouse droppings in one food outlet and no hand washing facilities in others.
According to the investigators’ report, the relegated club had previously been warned about rodent issues.
Neither club was available for comment, although a spokesman for Dundee FC previously said “all issues (stemming from the inspection) were urgently dealt with”.
A total of seven clubs in this year’s premier league were criticised in the inspector’s reports over the last two years, with the most common complaint being a lack of hand washing facilities.
Partick Thistle, for instance, failed to meet basic standards and were served an “improvements required” notice by Glasgow City Council.
Outwith the premier league, Rangers were found to have mouldy ceilings and dirty floors in one of their Ibrox bars.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, St Mirren and Hearts all received a clean bill of health from inspectors over the period.
Aberdeen passed a food hygiene inspection in September 2010 but have not had one since.
