An Aberdeen bar has been punished following outrage over the actions of Scotland football fans last week.
Spider’s Web Pub on Station Road in Dyce has been issued a 21-day penalty which will prevent the establishment from using their televisions.
It comes after videos were circulated of crowds in the city singing, shouting, hugging and jumping around during Scotland’s win over Serbia, all in breach of coronavirus regulations.
A statement by the pub said: “Due to unfortunate events at the end of the Scotland game last Thursday, regretfully we have received a 21-day penalty, which prevents us from using our TVs at this time.
“This includes the marquee and the inside areas of the pub.
“On a plus side, Aberdeen is to remain in level two restrictions and we are still able to operate serving our fine drinks and food on a daily basis. We rely heavily on all of our customer’s cooperation to follow our guidelines and we thank you all for your constant support during these difficult times.
“Please be reminded that we ask that everyone entering the premises, that you continue to follow our strict procedures.”
One of the pubs, The Draft Project, owned by PB Devco, was also issued a notice by Aberdeen City Council’s environmental health team.
It was required to remove all televisions.
The notice will run for 21 days, expiring at 11.59pm on Sunday, December 6.
A council spokesman said: “We last night issued the same direction to The Spider’s Web public house as was issued to The Draft Project.
“We are investigating complaints of scenes similar to those filmed at The Draft Project and, where appropriate, directions will be served.
“These sirections will only be used where there is evidence of significant issues and are not being used across the board with all licenced premises.”
