Five arrested as Hibs and Aberdeen fans 'clash' ahead of cinch Premiership tie

Police arrested five people in incidents linked to Aberdeen and Hibernian's Premiership match at Pittodrie on Friday night.

Scenes shared on social media ahead of kick-off showed dozens of supporters in a rammy ahead of the Dons' 4-1 victory over Hibs. Cops arrested a 15-year-old teenager in connection with pyrotechnic offences and escorted between 50 and 100 fans of the Edinburgh club to the stadium from Aberdeen's George Street.

In addition, officers later arrested four men aged between 15 and 25 for unspecified offences at Pittodrie Stadium later that evening. One of the alleged offenders was handed an on-the-spot fine while the other three are due in court at a later date after being released from police custody.
