Inverness Caledonian Thistle disciplines fined footballers

Doran missed Caley Thistle's match on Saturday with a groin injury

Two Inverness Caledonian Thistle players have been "dealt with" internally by the club after they were involved in an incident which saw winger Aaron Doran fined by police.

It is understood Doran, 23, was one of three men issued with a fixed penalty notice following an incident in Inverness in the early hours of Sunday.

He had earlier missed his club's victory at St Mirren through injury.

The identity of the other player is not known.

A club statement read: "Regarding the incident in the city centre on Saturday evening involving two players from Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC. The matter has been dealt with internally and as far as the club is concerned is now closed."

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "At 3.11am on Sunday 15 February, police on foot patrol attended a minor disturbance on Castle Wynd in Inverness. Three men in their 20s were issued with fixed penalty notices for breach of the peace."

Police, who would not name the individuals, said there were no assaults or injuries and no further action would be taken.

Doran, a former Ireland under-21 international, joined Caley Thistle from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 after a successful loan spell.
