Two people have been charged over the alleged racial abuse of youths at Aberdeen's International Football Festival, BBC Scotland has learned.

Police were called to Seaton Park on Tuesday following a complaint from officials of one of the teams.

A 41-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man are expected to appear at the city's sheriff court on Wednesday, charged with breach of the peace.

The event has a zero tolerance approach to allegations of racial abuse.
