A man who threw a bottle into a crowd of football fans at a Dons game has been handed an 18-month match ban.

David Roy, 44, was standing in the Rangers section at Pittodrie when the Glasgow club played Aberdeen on August 5 last year and hurled the bottle over the segregation line and into the home supporters’ section.

The scaffolder was also handed 135 hours of unpaid work by Sheriff Ian Wallace when he appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today for sentencing.

The incident happened near the end of the season opener, which finished in a 1-1 draw following Bruce Anderson’s late equaliser for the home side.
