TWO football fans were arrested at the Aberdeen-Celtic match after causing disruption during a Remembrance Sunday silence.

Police Scotland last night confirmed there were four arrests during the Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie yesterday - including the two who were detained for "minor disorder" during the silence.

The minute of reflection, which remembered British service personnel who died in conflicts since the First World War began 100 years ago, was quickly interrupted by some fans in the visitors' section of the stadium shouting and singing.

Some Celtic supporters tried to shout down the protesters - and noise was evident throughout the 60 seconds.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila later told of his disappointment that fans disrupted the silence.

He said: "That was disappointing. But 99 per cent (of the support) was good. Sometimes some people are not respectful.

"It is important for Celtic to be respectful."

Celtic FC Foundation, the club's charity organisation, this week donated £10,000 to Poppyscotland. And the foundation carried a story on its website detailing the Celtic players who died during the First World War.

The issue has proved contentious in the past. A group of Celtic fans staged a banner protest against the "blood-stained poppy on our hoops" when the club strip carried the symbol for a game four years ago.
