Eighteen males have been arrested and charged with disorder following a match between Aberdeen and Rangers in April.

It comes following a series of incidents of football related disorder that took place during the game at Pittodrie stadium on April 23, which ended in a 2-0 win for Aberdeen.

On Wednesday, police revealed that a total of 18 males, aged between 16 and 34, have since been arrested and charged.

All have been reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

Superintendent Neil McDonald, from Police Scotland’s North East Division, said: “I would like to thank the overwhelming majority of fans and members of the public for their support and behaviour during the fixture.

“Football-related disorder remains utterly unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

“We will continue to work with our partners to ensure that those who seek to spoil and disrupt these occasions are dealt with robustly.”
