A teenage boy has appeared in court charged with robbing a drum from a woman before a Rangers and St Johnstone match.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly assaulted the woman at Hampden Park on August 17, 2024.

Court papers state the boy acted with an unknown person while wearing a face covering to commit the alleged offence.

It is claimed that the boy ran towards the victim, seized and pulled her by the body, then threw her to the ground to her injury.

The allegation goes on to say that the teenager then robbed the woman of a drum.

A separate charge says the boy behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by forming a disorderly crowd, repeatedly shouting, swearing and challenging others to fight.

The allegation further states he uttered offensive remarks and threats of violence.

A final charge states that the boy resisted, obstructed or hindered two police officers in the execution of their duty.

It is said he ran away from two constables and struggled with them.

The boy made no plea at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the three charges.

He was represented by his lawyer Michael O’Neill.

The teenager was committed for further examination and released on bail.

His next court appearance is to be determined.
