Another man has been detained over the disorder that marred the end of the Scottish Cup final, taking the total number of arrests to 88.
The event at Hampden Park on May 21 was disrupted when fans invaded the pitch after Hibernian’s 3-2 win over Rangers.
Hibs supporters flooded on to the field at the end of their side’s dramatic last-minute win, with Rangers fans also making it past stewards and on to the turf before mounted officers restored order.
Police launched a large-scale investigation and at the weekend released images of a further 12 men they were trying to trace.
A 20-year-old man is the latest to be arrested over alleged violence and disorder. He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday.
A police spokesman said: “This brings the total number of arrests to date to 88. A full report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
“The police investigation is continuing into the violence and disorder, and officers are continuing to appeal to anyone with information that may assist their enquiries to contact the inquiry team on 0141 532 54547. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
The Scottish Football Association has said neither club will face punishment for the crowd trouble in line with the governing body’s disciplinary rules.
An independent report commissioned by the SFA said the Scottish Government should consider making it a criminal offence to run on to a football pitch.
