- Jimmy Thelin condemns assault on Jack MacKenzie
- Unused substitute needed stitches to head wound
The Aberdeen manager, Jimmy Thelin, has described the head injury to defender Jack MacKenzie from an seat thrown by his own fans after the 2-1 defeat against Dundee United as “totally unacceptable”.
Home fans invaded the pitch at Tannadice after the final-day win clinched fourth spot in the Premiership and a place in Europe. MacKenzie, an unused substitute, was struck by a seat thrown from the section holding Aberdeen fans and was given lengthy treatment before being taken away in a wheelchair with a bloodied bandage around his head and stitches were required.
