Police Scotland have charged a 13-year-old boy after a plastic bottle was thrown towards Celtic players at Pittodrie on Sunday.
The youngster, who was sat in a stand with Aberdeen supporters, threw the object towards the pitch following Jota's winner for Ange Postecoglou's side.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 13-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a Breach of the Peace after a plastic bottle was thrown towards the pitch at the Aberdeen v Celtic game on Sunday, 3 October.
"No one was injured and a report will be submitted to the Youth Justice Management Unit."
Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota, either side of Lewis Ferguson's equaliser, earned Celtic a crucial win away from home at Pittodrie.
The result leaves Postecoglou's side sixth in the Premiership table on 13 points - still six points behind leaders Rangers, who beat Hibernian 2-1 on Sunday.
