PC Roger Brown, dedicated football officer for Derby County, said: 'The safety and wellbeing of all football supporters is our priority.

'The behaviour of a very small minority of Derby fans at Saturday's game was unacceptable.

'We started our enquiries during the match and we are working hard to pinpoint those fans responsible.

'Derby County has a great fan base and I will not let the behaviour of a few individuals spoil that reputation.'
