An Aberdeen man's admitted sending offensive tweets about a disabled boy and a footballer's dead sister.

20 year old Ross Gibson was charged after Aberdeen's game against Celtic back in March.

He'd written an offensive message with a picture of a young disabled football fan.

He also said Celtic captain Scott Brown's sister was "in hell" - she died of skin cancer at the age of 21.

Gibson had told police it was supposed to banter with his friends, but admitted it was immature and disgusting.

He'll be back at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to be sentenced in January.
