The alleged incident took place in the Bob Shankly stand at Dens Park, which houses travelling supporters.
Wednesday’s match was suspended for 18 minutes after Rangers fans let off a large number of flares that triggered fire alarms under the stand.

“The club are fully supporting the police investigation and the club’s child welfare and protection officer is supporting the situation.
“As this is an ongoing police investigation the club will be making no further comment.”
