A football fan who made racist remarks and assaulted a police officer has been banned from all games in Scotland.
Celtic fan Gerard Brodrick, 23, was caught making racist remarks at the Aberdeen vs Celtic on February 1 at Pittodrie Stadium.
The Glasgow man was banned from all Scottish games for two years at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday after he admitted a racist breach of the peace.
He also admitted assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
Chief superintendent Adrian Watson, Aberdeen division commander, said: "Grampian Police is committed to stamping out racism and all other forms of unacceptable behaviour.
"We work closely with Aberdeen Football Club , the fans and the football authorities to identify those responsible for acting in an unacceptable manner and have made significant inroads into making the match day experience at Pittodrie one of the safest in the country.
"It is unfortunate that the very few continue to act in this way and this should serve as a warning that Grampian Police will not tolerate this type behaviour of behaviour in any shape or form ."
