Aberdeen midfielder Funso Ojo has been charged with allegedly assaulting a Dundee United supporter last month.
The 30 year old was sent off during the game after being confronted by a fan in the stand.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 30-year-old man has been charged in connection with a minor assault which took place inside Tannadice Park, Dundee, around 5pm on Saturday, 20 November, 2021.
"He will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Aberdeen Football Club gave the following statement:
“The Club is aware of the latest developments regarding an incident involving our player, Funso Ojo, and a corporate hospitality guest who gained unauthorised access to what is designated as a secure and restricted area of Tannadice Park after our match against Dundee United on Saturday 20 November.
“Frustratingly, we are not able to provide any further detail on the incident as this is now a matter for the Procurator Fiscal.
“The Club is, however, offering its full support to Funso, who has fallen victim to circumstances not of his making.”
