Arrests and charges following football-related disorder in Aberdeen

A total of 18 males have been arrested and charged following extensive enquiries into disorder surrounding the football match between Aberdeen and Rangers on Sunday, 23 April, 2023.

The males, aged between 16 and 34, 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.”
