Cops Investigate Tunnel Clash

Police are making enquiries into an incident involving Motherwell chairman John Boyle and Aberdeen manager Craig Brown following the end of the Lanarkshire side's 2-1 victory at Fir Park.

Former Motherwell manager Brown, 70, spoke to police after the clash at the mouth of the tunnel.

The match commander, Superintendent Brian Connel, said: "We are making enquiries into the incident that occurred at the final whistle, when the players were still on the pitch. What we are not looking at is any form of criminal inquiry.

"There has been no criminal complaint brought to our attention but given some of the issues we have seen at other football grounds it's only right we make enquiries into this.

"I think there was an exchange of words and very minor pushing thereafter so we just wanted to make sure there was no criminal element to that. We have not identified any criminal element.

"Nonetheless with the assistance of both clubs we will make sure we get to the bottom of it."
