Club Statement – Pyrotechnic incident

Dundee Football Club can confirm that the club is fully aware of an incident that occurred at yesterday’s match against St Johnstone which saw a young Dundee supporter injured by a pyrotechnic set off within the away support.

The club will be working with St Johnstone and Police Scotland to try to identify the culprit. This is an example of the very real dangers associated with pyrotechnics generally and within football stadia.

The club reminds all supporters that it is an offence to bring pyrotechnics to any football match in Scotland. Action will be taken by the club against individuals who do not adhere to this. Pyrotechnics have no place in Scottish football and yesterday illustrated how dangerous they can be.

The club have been in touch directly with the family of the young supporter to check on his condition and will be arranging something special for him with the players and coaches.

Everyone at Dundee Football Club wishes him a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing him soon.
