Ten men arrested over 'violence and disorder' at Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park in Glasgow

Ten men have been arrested in connection with disorder at the Scottish League Cup final in February.

The disorder occurred outside Hampden Stadium in Glasgow on the morning of Sunday, February 26.

Eight men, aged 18, 18, 20, 21, 21, 24, 25 and 25 were arrested and released on an undertaking.

Two men, aged 43 and 21, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday, March 30.

The match saw Celtic win 2-1 against Rangers, claiming the first piece of silverware of the 2022/23 season.

Police Scotland said that a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, and its enquiries are undergoing.

A spokesperson for the force said: “Police Scotland supports the event organisers, being the clubs and the football authorities, to create a safe environment for people to attend and enjoy football matches.

“These arrests show that such violence and disorder has no place in football and our enquiries continue in order to identify those responsible for the disorder inside and outside of Hampden at this fixture.

“We are committed to working with our partners to maximise the safety of all persons attending football fixtures.”

A spokesperson for the SPFL said: “We have been working closely with Police Scotland and the Scottish FA to investigate and address the unacceptable behaviour of a small minority of supporters at the recent Viaplay Cup Final.

“We are encouraged by the progress which has already been made and look forward to more of the individuals involved being identified in the near future.”
