SNS GroupA man has been charged after pyrotechnics were let off during Dundee’s match against St Johnstone last month.
During the game at Dens Park on Sunday, February 11, flares were set off in the stands.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested and charged over the incident and is due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court at a later date.
Police Scotland said the man will be subject to conditions not to enter or attend any designated or regulated football match within the UK.
A football banning order will also be requested in relation to the man over his alleged “culpable and reckless conduct”, the force said.
Constable Neil Aitkenhead said: “Taking pyrotechnics into a sporting stadium is a criminal offence. I’d ask people to think of the impact it could have on those around you, particularly people with medical conditions, young children and elderly.
“We will continue to work in partnership with football clubs to prevent fans from taking pyrotechnics into grounds and to pursue those who put other fans’ safety at risk.”
