In a shocking incident during a Scottish Premiership match between Dundee and Rangers, a 13-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted. The incident occurred in the Bob Shankly Stand, an area occupied mainly by away fans. The match, held at Dundee’s Dens Park, also known as the Scot Foam Stadium, last Wednesday was already marred by disruption, including a 45-minute delay due to the Rangers team bus stopping in the traffic
Adding to the chaos, play was suspended for an additional 18 minutes after traveling fans set off a significant number of flares, setting off fire alarms throughout the stadium. Police Scotland have confirmed that they are currently investigating the alleged sexual assault. A spokesman said: “We are carrying out inquiries following an allegation of sexual assault against a 13-year-old girl which happened at Dens Park in Dundee on Wednesday 1 November 2023.”
Dundee FC have expressed their full support for the ongoing investigation. A spokesperson for the club confirmed their awareness of the incident and stated that the club’s child welfare and protection officer is providing support in this serious situation. As the investigation continues, the club has declined to comment. Attempts have been made to reach Rangers FC for comment.
The game itself has come under scrutiny due to the dangerous use of flares by Rangers fans. The smoke from these pyrotechnics set off the fire alarms, forcing the players off the pitch. Despite the stoppages, Rangers emerged victorious with a 5-0 win. However, Rangers manager Philippe Clement warned fans for their dangerous behavior and urged them to leave pyrotechnics at home in future. While no arrests were made during the game, investigations into the use of pyrotechnics are ongoing. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety and respect at sporting events.
