A 25-year-old man has been charged for throwing coins at the game between Falkirk and Dunfermline on October 6.

Coins were thrown at a Dunfermline player but they all missed and no one was injured.

Police inquiries have been ongoing since the incident and a man has been now charged. He is expected to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court at a later date.

Detective Sergeant Kenny Halliday, Forth Valley's Dedicated Football Officer, said: "Throwing items on the pitch or at people is a reckless and disruptive act.

"We remain committed to pursuing those who attempt to cause others harm and ruin the game for the majority of responsible fans."
