A football supporter who attacked a Premiership player during a match has been ordered to carry out unpaid work as a direct alternative to a jail sentence.
Dundee United fan Marc Jackson assaulted Aberdeen player Funso Ojo as he ran towards home supporters to recover the ball when it went out of play.
Jackson, a season ticket holder at Tannadice for 22 years, stood up and used both hands to shove the player backwards, causing him to stumble.
