After his side’s Scottish Premiership defeat at Dundee United, Aberdeen defender Jack MacKenzie was struck by one of his own fans and left bloody after being thrown by a seat.
After their side denied Aberdeen fourth place, United supporters invaded the playing surface with unused substitute MacKenzie.
And he was slashed by the plastic object that was hurled from the Fair Play Stand, where a traveling support was only allowed to travel when Jim Goodwin was last at Tannadice’s last meeting.
In a statement, Aberdeen claimed MacKenzie had “a serious facial injury.”
The club added that the incident caused them to be “dismayed and outraged” and that they are “certain” that the chair thrown came from the area where the fans’ homes were located.
Police Scotland confirmed that MacKenzie had received medical attention at the scene, and that she will require further medical evaluation.
Additionally, they have pleaded for information and urged anyone who witnessed or has footage to contact them.
Superintendent Ray Birnie, the match’s commander, stated: “This was a mindless act that seriously injured the player, which required medical care.
I’d like to ask all fans to help us find the person responsible, saying, “This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”
“Please do the right thing and come forward if you witnessed what happened at the Fair Play Stand.” Anyone who has captured any kind of video on a mobile device should check it out and let us know if there is anything we should know about.
Goodwin described the scenes as “disgraceful,” calling them “disgraceful.” He has previously had similar incidents with him managing United against former club Aberdeen.
Because we’ve previously had previous encounters with Aberdeen supporters, he said, “I deliberately took myself off the pitch as quickly as I could.”
“I’m very disappointed to learn that Jack’s supporters have thrown an object at him.” It’s a total disgrace that he is currently receiving stitches inside.
The authorities should probably step in and take action to find these idiots who let down a really good club, according to the statement.
United has not yet made a comment on the incident, but the SPFL criticized the “moronic behavior.”
One of the most exciting games of the season has been ruined by such foolish behavior, a statement read. “It’s incredibly disappointing and frustrating.”
