A man has appeared in court accused of throwing a smoke bomb onto the pitch during a football match in Aberdeen.
Matthew Grant is alleged to have culpably and recklessly thrown the firework at Cove Rangers’ Balmoral Stadium on Wellington Circle on June 7, 2019, endangering others and damaging the pitch.
The 28-year-old appeared at the city’s sheriff court yesterday to deny the charge.
Grant, whose address was given as Fetteresso Terrace, Stonehaven, will make a further appearance in February.
