Stars from both sides could be seen waving their arms in the air in an attempt to attract attention.

Referee Steven McLean noticed the pleas of concern and immediately stopped the match and waved the medics on.

The Aberdeen medical team were seen sprinting across the pitch to head into the crowd to administer treatment and were joined by their Celtic counterparts.

Players on the pitch looked visibly concerned as treatment was administered.

Commentator Chris Sutton said: "Some things are more important than football."

After a sizable delay of a few minutes, commentator Ian Crocker provided a positive update.

He informed viewers that the fan was now sat up and on his feet.

Crocker then said the fan was placed in a wheelchair and taken away from the stand for further treatment.

Applause could be heard around Pittodrie.

Play was able to resume after a delay of seven minutes.

A further update was then provided by the Sky Sports commentator at the start of the second half.

Crocker revealed that the fan was now in a 'stable' condition.

He did, however, add that the supporter had been taken to hospital.
