Aberdeen FC has publicly apologized to a St Mirren fan following a disturbing incident where some of its supporters directed hurtful chants at a fan with additional support needs. This incident, which was captured on video and circulated on social media after the recent match, is being treated by police as a hate crime. Both football clubs involved have denounced the behavior, with strong commitments to finding those responsible and addressing the wider implications of such actions within the sport and society. Police Scotland has described the behavior as despicable and is seeking informants to assist in their investigation.
The chant is totally unacceptable and not befitting the outstanding Aberdeen support that we experience from the vast majority, both at Pittodrie and on the road.
This behaviour is completely unacceptable and has no place at our stadium, in football or wider society.
Insp Megan Logan, of Police Scotland, said the abuse was 'despicable' and officers were keen to trace those involved.
Both clubs have condemned the incident and said they will work to identify those responsible.
