The Scottish Premiership club said the "wholly unacceptable incident" took place last Saturday at the end of St. Johnstone's 1-0 loss to visiting Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park in Perth.

The 23-year-old from Ottawa, a former Vancouver Whitecap, joined St. Johnstone in January 2022. "What happened to me on Saturday was shocking, disturbing and unacceptable," Bair, who is Black, said in a statement. "I'd had nothing but good experiences in Perth at St.

Johnstone before this incident. "I am grateful to the football club for dealing with this situation immediately and giving me their support.
