Police release CCTV images of man after incident at Rangers vs Dundee United match

Police have released images of a man they want to trace in connection with an incident at a match between Rangers and Dundee United last year.

Officers said the believe the man may have information which can assist an investigation into culpable and reckless conduct at Ibrox.

The fixture on September featured a minute's silence held in memory of the Queen beforehand - however the tribute was disrupted by the crowd apparently chanting "Lizzie's in a box".

Police announced after the match they were investigating claims that Rangers fans 'threw glass bottles' at Dundee United supporters in retaliation. Booing was also heard during the minute's silence held before the SPL clash.

The force confirmed that they were probing reports of the objects allegedly being thrown into the away section. It's claimed that Rangers supporters threw the bottles after the opposition fans disrupted the tribute to the Queen.

Images shared on social media after the match appeared to show broken glass on the ground between seats at the stadium, with away fans claiming bottles were thrown from the home crowd.

Dundee United released a statement following the match to address the issues during the minute's silence. It explained: "Dundee United are aware of the actions of a small section of the crowd who chose to not respect the minute's silence before this afternoon's match at Ibrox.

"As a club, ahead of the game, we reached out to advise our supporters of the pre-match arrangements with the expectation that the minute silence would be observed."

In a statement on Thursday, PC Daniel Brady of the Greater Glasgow Divisional Violence Reduction Unit said: “I would urge the man, or anyone who has information relating to him, depicted in the images to make contact with police.

“Members of the public can contact Police Scotland via the 101 non-emergency telephone number quoting incident number 1428 of September 17, 2022 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
