A man has been charged three months after a large-scale disturbance between football fans in Glasgow city centre.

Fans clashed ahead of the Old Firm match at Hampden Park on December 15, with one officer left injured after missiles were thrown at police.

On Friday, police confirmed a 23-year-old man had been charged in connection with the disorder.

He is due to appear from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

It comes after six men aged 22, 23, 26, 27, 28 and 38, were previously charged in connection with the disorder.

Police Scotland is urging anyone with information regarding the unrest to come forward.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Our enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information that could assist our investigation is asked to contact us via 101.”
