Eight people arrested in connection with the Scottish Cup Final in Glasgow

THERE were eight arrests in connection with minor disorder offences at the Scottish Cup Final in Glasgow on Saturday, police have confirmed.

Celtic won 1-0 against Rangers following a last-minute goal at Hampden Park.

Police Scotland have said a 25-year-old man has been charged and released on an undertaking, whilst three men, aged 19, 25 and 28, and a 17-year-old male youth will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

A 47-year-old man was given a Fixed Penalty Notice.

Two 15-year-old youths were arrested and left in the care of their families.

In addition, two women, aged 50 and 51, were given recorded police warnings.

Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan said: “There was no significant disorder and I would like to thank the majority of fans for their conduct throughout the day.

“Working with partner agencies, we provided a proportionate policing plan to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for those in and around the city.”

It comes after celebrations following Celtic’s victory in the Scottish Premiership resulted in 19 arrests, as four police officers were allegedly injured.
