RICHARD FOSTER was hauled away from a spat with a fan during tonight's Championship clash between Ayr United and Partick Thistle.
The Jags defender was substituted just after the hour mark during the Championship encounter as Ian McCall's side lost 3-1.
Footage that circulated on social media showed fans venting their frustrations at half-time before Foster reacted and looked to approach one supporter.
The former Rangers and Aberdeen man was then pulled away from the situation by his teammates as they headed into the dressing room.
It's not the first time Foster has been caught up in controversy as the full-back most noticeably was involved in an onfield clash with his own teammate back in 2017.
The former St Johnstone defender went head to head with Danny Swanson during a league game against Hamilton before both players were shown red cards.
Tonight's victory for Ayr saw the club remain in the Championship as they succumbed Dunfermline to the relegation play-off spot.
Thistle are into the Premiership play-offs and take on Inverness on Tuesday night as they aim to make it back to Scotland's top division.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
