Arrests made in connection with Old Firm disorder reach 31 as two teens among five charged

Officers have charged five more people, including two teenagers, following disorder at an Old Firm match in March, bringing the total arrests to 31.

Fans clashed on the field after Celtic knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup on penalties at Ibrox on March 8.

Police have made a number of arrests following the violence, which saw officers, supporters, members of coaching staff, and players assaulted.

A ten-year-old child was also struck by a coin as items, including pyrotechnics, were thrown by supporters.

Officers have arrested a further five people as part of Operation Moonglint, which was launched in the wake of the disorder.

Three men, aged 44, 41 and 18, a 37-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old male youth have been arrested and charged in connection with various offences including assault, breach of the peace, culpable and reckless conduct and offences relating to pyrotechnics.

They are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.

Last week police released 24 images of people they believe may be able to assist with their ongoing enquiries.
