An investigation is under way after claims that a Scottish football fan was raped before a European cup match in Madrid.

Aberdeen Football Club has confirmed that an incident took place the night before the UEFA Cup tie with Atletico Madrid - an event marred by crowd trouble.

Club officials have stayed in the Spanish capital to help any distressed fans.

A spokesman for the club said: "There has been an alleged incident but we cannot comment further at this stage."

Three Aberdeen fans were also taken to hospital in Madrid last night, the British Embassy has reported.

No details were given about the three, although one of them is believed to have been injured accidentally and not directly related to crowd trouble.

The British Embassy confirmed they were in contact with the Spanish authorities.

Aberdeen travelled to Madrid last night to play Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Cup, a tie they lost 2-0.

Spanish media reported that at least 17 people suffered injuries during the trouble, which was tackled by riot police after bottles and objects were thrown.

An estimated 6,000 Aberdeen fans are believed to have made trip for the game, with only 3,000 tickets officially allocated.

Aberdeen are writing to UEFA to complain about the treatment of their fans and the poor management of the fixture.

From what I've heard the Aberdeen fans reacted when some of the Atletico fans started throwing flares at them.

Does anyone know anything else about this?

Who has had more crowd trouble in the domestis and international front over the last 10 years? Its funny that Scotland have won award for how well their fans have been and hardly see anything about it in the papers.

i surpose you never see any trouble with the English fans at any game :roll:

So tell why is it that us Scots have a great reputation for being the best fans whenever we are on our travels. Yes we maybe loud and proud in our singing but, not violent.

There was no trouble with the Seville fans. I was there, got cuts and bruises from "police" and i wasn`t even in the ground. Was also facing the wrong way so didn`t see the fucker creep up on me.

A football fan from Aberdeen gets raped and someone somehow tries to say the Scots (who have a good reputation on their travels as far as I'm aware) are always on the lookout for trouble.

Nice, lads. Real nice. :-|

Look what happened to Celtic when they went to Seville

The Scottish football fans are known as the World's Friendliest Fans, as awarded in France during the 1998 World Cup, and have won numerous awards over the years from both FIFA and UEFA for their combination of rabid support and friendly nature.

That's a reputation that should be respected rather than tainted with generalisations.

Aberdeen have a notorious hooligan element. It may not be as evident today, as it was a decade ago, but it's still there.

They don't have a notorious hooligan element anymore. Yes they were notorious about 15/20 years ago but, not anymore. However like all football clubs there are stupid ****s that try to affiliate themselves to a club as an excuse for violence but, lets not confuse that with proper supporters.

Rangers were fined £13,000 by UEFA last season and severely warned as to the future behaviour of their supporters following the Champions League tie against Villarreal. Similar incidents happened when Rangers traveled to Osasuna, in the UEFA Cup tie, last Spring. In addition, both Glaswegian teams are guilty of sectarian chanting, and the bile that pours out from both sets of supporters at an Old Firm Derby. Respect a minutes silence for the victims of the 7/7 bombings at Parkhead? Forget it. Respect a minutes silence for the passing of a pope at Ibrox? Forget it.

Yes, Scottish fans have won awards, and rightly so - the majority of their fans are good natured, but let's not bury our heads in the sand and pretend that this shit doesn't go on. As much as some members on this site would like to label 'hooliganism' an exclusively English problem, this simply isn't the case.

thank god someone agree's with me about the scots..!

I live near aberdeen and the men here just drink and cause no trouble....in NO WAY would anyone from here cause a fight when pissed, more likely to be loud but violence?
