Club Statement update

Keith FC have investigated and identified the person who made the racist comment at the home match against Huntly FC on 26 March, 2022.

No action could be taken at the time of the incident as a thorough investigation needed to be undertaken so that the correct person was identified.

Keith FC have issued a letter informing the person identified of a lifetime ban from Kynoch Park and any Keith FC event. Huntly FC have been informed of the action taken.

Keith FC have never had such a situation occur before and take racism and indeed any form of unacceptable conduct, be it directed to players, staff or spectators very seriously. Keith FC condemns racism in any form, either on or off the pitch.

Keith FC aims to create and maintain a working and spectating environment free from racial harassment, abuse and unacceptable conduct of any nature and will give their full support to the police in any criminal actions.

We will continue to remind supporters that racist taunts and abusive or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated by Keith FC. There is no room for such behaviour in life at all.

Once again we sincerely apologise to all at Huntly FC for the incident and applaud their support of both their and our players who may have been affected. We too have provided support to all of our players following the incident.
