Six football fans were arrested at last nights Aberdeen V Celtic game at Pittodrie - but Police Scotland have still praised the behaviour of fans.

With almost 20,000 people in attendance, Police Scotland say that the majority of fans enjoyed the game responsibly and the match passed without major incidents.

But six people were arrested, including one for a sectarian breach of the peace, an assault and four for minor drink-related offences, all within the football grounds.

The match passed with no serious disruption or incident and this is testament to both the supporters home and away. Officers in attendance worked closely with partners and engaged with fans throughout the match."
