A football fan has died following a "medical incident" just minutes before kick off at a Scottish Premiership match. The 72-year-old man fell ill at St Johnstone’s McDiarmid Park in Perth before their match with Aberdeen on Saturday, August 20.
Medical staff from both clubs and emergency services rushed to assist the pensioner and provided treatment for up to an hour. However, despite their best efforts, the man died a short time later.
Police confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
