Dunfermline fans set off flares ahead of the game
A 14-year-old boy has been charged after an incident at a controversial Scottish Football League match.
Fife police confirmed they have arrested and charged a “local” boy while making inquiries into an incident at a game between Dunfermline Athletic and Forfar at East End Park.
Smoke canisters were set off during the heated promotion struggle on May 10, and police said further arrests are expected.
A police spokesman said: “We can confirm a charge has been made in connection with the Dunfermline game last week.”
One fan suffered minor burns during the game at East End Park, which the Fife team won 6-1. Three Forfar players were sent off en route to a 7-4 aggregate loss for the Angus side.
