Dundee Utd believe they have evidence which backs up alleged racist language towards Jeando Fuchs and have submitted it to the SFA and SPFL.

It follows an incident during Saturday's home game with Ross County when a visiting fan alledgedly shouted something at the Utd midfielder.

After the match Tangerines head coach Tam Courts held up a "Show Racism the Red Card" t-shirt to County supporters - which Staggies' CEO Steven Ferguson said risked the safety of their fans leaving the ground.

In a statement, Ferguson said :"During the end of the first half and for the vast majority of the second half our Safety Officer engaged with his Dundee United counterpart, stewards and Ross County supporters as well as other representatives of both clubs where it was made clear to him from all parties, that no racist language had been used during a chant that was aimed at Jeando Fuchs."
