Man charged after ‘bottle thrown’

A man has been charged after a glass bottle landed in the crowd at a football match.

The bottle landed in the home section of the South Stand of Pittodrie Stadium shortly before the end of a match between Aberdeen and Rangers on August 5. It was reported a 12-year-old boy was hit by the bottle in a “glancing blow”. Officers said a 44-year-old man from Glasgow has now been charged in relation to an alleged culpable and reckless conduct incident.

He will appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date.
