CLUB STATEMENT | DUNDEE UNITED VS HIBERNIAN

12th October 2022

Dundee United FC are aware of a video clip that was widely shared on social media after last night’s cinch Premiership match versus Hibernian FC.

The footage appeared to transmit either racist or other derogatory language used within the stadium.

We are currently investigating the incident and are working with all the relevant stakeholders to isolate the area of the stadium where the audio has been picked up and determine the content clearly. 

Initial investigations can confirm only two microphones were active within the stadium for the broadcast, and both were situated on our TV gantry within the Jerry Kerr Stand and placed at 45-degree angles. 

The footage shown on the broadcast at the time the alleged incident occurred, took place on the opposite side of the stadium from where the two microphones were placed.

Dundee United has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism and racists are simply not welcome inside Tannadice Park.
