Charleroi fans pelted Standard Liege supporters with dead rats during a Belgian league game, Standard said on Sunday, confirming claims by fans on social media.
A dozen dead rodents painted red, the Standard Liege colour, were hurled in the direction of home fans by Charleroi supporters.
"We hope that the Pro League will take action, that our club will file a complaint and that the animal associations will get involved," said supporters on Facebook.
"Hooded spectators in rat-catcher outfits threw these rats towards a stand occupied by families and people with reduced mobility," a Standard supporter told Belgian television.
Standard won the derby 3-1 on Friday night
