Aberdeen FC advanced to the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals after a penalty shootout win over Kilmarnock, but the victory was overshadowed by a pitch invasion that sparked live TV fury. Michael Stewart criticised the invaders as 'idiots' while safety announcements urged fans to leave the pitch. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with Kevin Nisbet scoring for Aberdeen and Tyreece John-Jules replying for Kilmarnock before Dan Happe was sent off. Marius Muller performed well in the shootout, saving penalties as Jack Milne and others converted for the Dons. The invasion lasted approximately one minute before being cleared, with Stewart declaring on live TV: 'There's a few absolute idiots in front of the Kilmarnock support as well. Just get off.' He added: 'You've got a couple of stewards having to try and handle this on their own. It's going to kick off here. Absolute idiots!' The Daily Record Football reported the incident, which occurred at Kilmarnock's stadium. Aberdeen now sit 10th in the Premiership with 4 points from 5 games, their recent form showing one win, two draws and two losses. The last meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw on 12 September 2026, with Nisbet and John-Jules scoring in regular time before penalties decided it. Aberdeen's next fixture is a home game against Motherwell on 30 December 2026, who currently sit fifth in the table. The club will look to move past the incident as they prepare for the semi-final at Hampden.
