Two Aberdeen fans have been banned from football matches after causing trouble on the way on to a Dundee United game.

26 year old Dale McKeith and 34 year old Aaron Grant admitted shouting abuse and trying to attack rival fans last December.

Police officers - including the mounted branch - managed to keep the mobs apart.

Detectives ploughed through CCTV footage after the incidents, and made a number of arrests in dawn raids.

Sentence at Dundee Sheriff Court has been deferred for six months for good behaviour.

The pair won't be allowed to go to any SPFL or SFA games until then.
