Police arrest 14 in Glasgow following Celtic's Scottish Premiership win

Police have confirmed 14 arrests in Glasgow so far following Celtic’s Scottish Premiership win.

Ten were related to Celtic fans gathering in the Trongate area following the match, while four were at the stadium itself.

Police Scotland’s Assistant Chief Constable Mark Sutherland said two officers were injured during disorder in the Trongate, while three members of the public were either injured or suffered medical episodes.

He said that so far there have not been any arrests in relation to the pitch invasion at Celtic Park, but work on the police response to this is ongoing.

Celtic fans flocked to the Trongate to celebrate following their side’s 3-1 win against Hearts, which clinched the league title.

Earlier, the Glasgow side’s fans spilled onto the pitch after their third goal.

The Scottish Professional Football League said it “utterly condemns” the scenes.

An SPFL spokesperson said: “Firstly, we send our congratulations to Celtic on winning the William Hill Premiership in the most exciting of circumstances and send our commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian following an incredible campaign.

“We would also like to thank the referee and his excellent team of match officials for their cool heads on such a dramatic day. Given the speculation about the conclusion of the game, we would like to make clear that, prior to awarding the trophy, we were informed by the match referee that the match had ended and had not been abandoned.

“Yesterday’s match showed off the very best of the Scottish game and the drama and excitement that it is rightly famed for. The eyes of the world were on Glasgow and the climax of the William Hill Premiership, with millions of viewers watching the match on Sky Sports and across the globe.

“However, we utterly condemn the scenes which saw a number of Celtic supporters encroach onto the field of play. We await the report of our match delegate regarding any specific incidents that took place but, regardless, supporters entering the field of play in any circumstances is wholly unacceptable and puts those participating and working at a match at risk.

“We note that entering the pitch in England and Wales has been a criminal offence since 1991. We urge anyone with information about any alleged criminal activity to contact Police Scotland.”
