Aberdeen captain Anthony Stewart has hinted that he will take action after being the subject of alleged racist abuse on social media.

Stewart was sent off as Aberdeen lost 3-1 to St Mirren on Saturday and has responded to a remark on Instagram.

"There is many highs and lows in this beautiful game and I take full responsibility for my mistake, which cost us three points," he said.

"But I will not take racist abuse lightly."

Aberdeen were leading 1-0 in Paisley when centre-half Stewart following up his poor touch by hauling back Jonah Ayunga and Mark O'Hara's resulting penalty went in off goalkeeper Kelle Roos.

The 30-year-old Londoner joined Aberdeen after leaving Wycombe Wanderers this summer.

Aberdeen remain third in the Scottish Premiership, ahead of Heart of Midlothian on goal difference, despite a third consecutive defeat.
