UEFA to investigate alleged racist abuse of Aberdeen striker Pape Habib Gueye

UEFA is to investigate allegations Aberdeen striker Pape Habib Gueye was subject to racist abuse during a Europa Conference League game in Greece.

In a statement following last week's match Aberdeen said: "Pape has the unwavering support of his teammates and all at Aberdeen FC will liaise fully with UEFA during the course of their investigations into this very serious matter.

"As a club we have zero tolerance for any form of discrimination or racist abuse. There is no place for such behaviour in football, or society as a whole."

PAOK deny the claims, calling them a "product of imagination".

But the Scottish Premiership club say the incident happened in the second half of the 2-all draw, and it was almost immediately flagged up to officials.
