THIS is the shock moment an Aberdeen star required major medical treatment after being struck by a SEAT thrown by one of his own fans.

SunSport understands that a seat was thrown by the visiting fans in response but it only succeeded in catching Dons full back Jack MacKenzie on the head.
The Scotland fringe man subsequently required major treatment from medical staff on the Tannadice pitch in a shocking incident.
It's believed he DIDN'T require hospital treatment but images show him blooded and bruised with a head wound requiring significant taping as he was carted off the field on a stretcher.
United trailed early on in clash through Jeppe Okkels' 15th minute opener but they roared back through Declan Gallagher and a Sam Dalby penalty on 63 minutes to secure all three points.
There's no love lost between followers of the two sides but questions will be asked after such a serious incident.
The match could well be MacKenzie's LAST as a Dons player, with his contract expiring this summer.
He's had interest from down south - having previously been on the radar of Preston, Sheffield United and Stoke City.
EFL Championship club Plymouth Argyle are interested in a move for the left-back.

James Wade locked in another ‘FARTGATE' storm as disgusting act caught on live TV and called out by referee
JAMES WADE was involved in yet another dart 'fartgate' incident in Players Championship 17. The World No.10 kicked up a stink in a clash with fellow veteran star Peter Wright in Leicester. 3 Wade let rip during his 6-5 win over 'Snakebite' to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday afternoon. Wright stepped back and laughed uncomfortably, but Wade's joke quickly backfired when the match caller told him the clash was being televised. Referee Owen Binks then informed the players: 'Oh boy, okay then… This is a streamed match guys.' Wade claimed: 'It slipped out.' And then added: 'Give it a second.' Wright thought it needed more than a second, though. And Wade tried to prompt him back onto the oche, saying: 'Go ahead. Do you want nine more arrows?' It's not the first time the 42-year-old has passed wind during a match. He did the same less than a year ago in September 2024, also at the Players Championship. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK On that occasion he claimed it was his SHOES that made the noise.

Furious Man Utd fans slam new ticket prices as ‘another slap in the face' and warn decision will do ‘enormous harm'
FURIOUS Manchester United fans condemned a new ticket-price rise as a "fresh kick in the teeth". The club have introduced a new match categorisation model, charging some members up to £97 for top fixtures - starting with the Premier League opener against Arsenal on August 17. 2 2 Around 20,000 supporters buying tickets for home matches at Old Trafford through the membership scheme will be affected in some form. Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) claim the club "failed to consult any of the fans' representative bodies on the details of the decision". However, chief executive Omar Berrada insisted they did. A MUST statement read: "After how last season went, we might have hoped that the club would reconsider their plans for this new ticketing model. "It will see eye-watering price increases for 20,000 supporters per game who buy tickets on a match-by-match basis. "This really is a fresh kick in the teeth for Manchester United fans." Supporters were already at war with the club after Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co. introduced a flat-rate £66 for non-season-ticket holders, with no concessions, mid-season. Berrada admitted this week in an interview with United We Stand that the club had made a mistake. The opener with the Gunners is one of six Prem games priced between £59 and £97 for members. Fixtures against Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle are also in Category A. Paul Scholes lays into Sir Jim Ratcliffe for 'having the cheek' to introduce 'ridiculous' Man Utd's ticket prices Category B includes 11 league matches, with two games - against Wolves and Sunderland - priced in the Category C band. Cup games are in the lowest Category D band. The changes will see prices increase by up to 50 per cent for fans buying tickets on a match-by-match basis - yet United argue that the £97 applies to less than one per cent of the available tickets. MUST added: "Once again, they have failed to consult any of the fans' representative bodies on the details of the decision. "And, once again, they are making choices against the interests of fans and the club as a whole. "This match categorisation model will do enormous harm." The club insist fan groups were consulted and say ticket prices are lower than those first proposed to the Fan Advisory Board, whom Berrada claims to have engaged with heavily since the £66 decision. But another protest group, The 1958, insisted: "This is yet another slap in the face for loyal fans. "Dialogue with the club is broken, ignored or treated with contempt. 'Fans raise genuine concerns, the club responds with spin and price hikes.
