Aberdeen have launched an investigation after James Tavernier was struck by an object at Pittodrie.

The Rangers captain was targeted as he took a throw-in during the first half of the 2-2 draw on Wednesday night.

The incident was captured by Sky Sports TV cameras, with the missile believed to have been a pie.

And now Aberdeen have confirmed they're reacting to the incident.

A club spokesperson said: "The club is aware and is investigating. To date we haven’t received any complaints.”

The spoils were shared in the north east despite Rangers taking a two-goal lead inside 30 minutes.

Scott Arfield and Ryan Jack struck for Steven Gerrard 's side before they were pegged back by Jon Gallagher and Andy Considine goals.

On a dramatic evening where Celtic opened up a two-point gap at the Premiership summit, Ibrox boss Gerrard revealed ref John Beaton apologised to him post-match for failing to award the visitors a second-half penalty.

Alfredo Morelos was felled inside the area only for Beaton to award a free-kick.

And Gerrard said: "It’s 100% a penalty. I’m surprised it’s not given as the referee is three yards away and looking right at it.

“He has seen it since and agrees it is a blatant penalty he has missed. I have to be very careful what I say, obviously, but I don’t think there will be a more disappointed person outside of Rangers tonight than John.

“He has just explained to me that he got it wrong, right in front of his eyes, and there is no excuse. There is nothing more I can say on it to be honest. Did he apologise? Yes. I went to see him."
