Fifty police officers have been involved in raids in Aberdeen and Dundee over football violence. The early morning raids follow trouble at last month's game at Tannadice, which the Dons won 2-0. Seven people have been arrested in Aberdeen, and four in Dundee. They're all in police custody - and detectives say the campaign will continue over the next few weeks. It comes just a few days before the two teams meet again in the League Cup semi final - and the police will be hoping there won't be any repeat of the violence at Hampden.
