Police begin investigation as 13-year-old girl allegedly s*xually assaulted during Rangers game

Police have launched an investigation after a 13-year-old was allegedly s*xually assaulted during Rangers' 5-0 win over Dundee on November 1 (Wednesday).

After the game at Dens Park, a spokesperson for Dundee Football Club stated that a 13-year-old girl was allegedly s*xually assaulted in the Bob Shankly stands, where away fans perch.

The club will not be making any further statements before the Scottish police pass a verdict about the alleged incident. Dundee has also affirmed that they will support the police investigation utterly. The statement read:

"Dundee Football Club can confirm we are aware of an incident which took place in the Bob Shankly stand during Wednesday's match against Rangers."

"The club are fully supporting the police investigation and the club's child welfare and protection officer is supporting the situation. As this is an ongoing police investigation, the club will be making no further comment."

The start of the match was delayed by 45 minutes as the bus of the Light Blues got stuck in traffic. Moreover, the game was suspended for 18 minutes more during the first half after supporters triggered the fire alarm with flares.
