Aberdeen fans were the victims of a tear gas attack in the Czech Republic ahead of Thursday's Europa Cup clash with Sigma Olomouc. Around 40 Dons supporters were inside an Irish bar in the town of Olomouc in the early hours of Thursday morning when it was targeted by football hooligans.

The attackers arrived in a car before launching two tear gas canisters into the bar.

A Dons spokesman told Press Association Sport: "I've spoken to a number of the guys who were in the pub at the time and they all got a hell of a fright.

"But other than the effects of the gas itself, there was no damage, thankfully."

Police have detained two people, the spokesman added.
