Spitting allegations spark Diouf investigation

Liverpool star El Hadji Diouf will be the subject of a police investigation after he appeared to spit at the crowd during tonight’s UEFA Cup clash at Parkhead.

The incident marred a good result for the Merseysiders, who will take a 1-1 draw back to Anfield, and sparked an angry reaction from two Celtic supporters.

They were arrested but have since been released, however local police confirmed Diouf is facing an investigation.

Superintendent Kevin Smith of Strathclyde police said: “He’s the subject of an investigation.

“We won’t speak to the player tonight but there have been complaints and TV coverage and we have spoken to two people involved.

“Two people have been arrested but they have now been released.”
