Motherwell spark fresh Premiership pyro woe before crunch summit as smoke descends over St Johnstone clash

A section of Motherwell supporters set off pyro as another Scottish Premiership clash with St Johntstone was hit with a sea of smoke.

Rangers fans at Dens Park sparked scenes of condemnation which resulted in a strongly-worded statement from both Dundee and the SPFL. And the problem over pyro inside stadia appears to be going nowhere with Premiership clubs set to discuss it at a looming summit later this month which will also feature input from Police Scotland.

Backers of the Fir Park side let of the pyro and smoke bombs at the start of their clash on Tuesday night and decision makers are likely to take a dim view of the latest incident set to cause further alarm. A spokesperson for the SPFL said last week: "The extensive use of pyrotechnics at the match at Dens Park is very concerning and unwelcome.

"The disruption to the game is obviously extremely regrettable. We await the delegate report and will be liaising with Police Scotland on the incident."
