Aberdeen: Jack MacKenzie left bloodied by object thrown by own fans in Dundee Utd defeat

Aberdeen defender Jack MacKenzie was struck on the head by a plastic seat thrown by his own fans after a 2-1 loss at Dundee United's Tannadice on the final day.
The incident followed tensions in a match where Dundee United overtook Aberdeen for fourth place, securing Europa League qualification and spoiling Aberdeen's chance at a top-four finish.
MacKenzie, a Scotland U21 international who was an unused substitute, required extensive medical attention on the field before being escorted off the pitch in a wheelchair, his head heavily bandaged and bloodied.
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin called the injury "totally unacceptable," while the SPFL spokesperson condemned the "moronic behaviour," and PFA Scotland chief Fraser Wishart urged this to be a wake-up call.
The incident highlights growing concerns over fan violence, prompting cooperation between clubs and Police Scotland to identify perpetrators and expecting severe football and legal sanctions.
