Police have arrested 19 men in connection with violent clashes that took place ahead of the Ramsdens Cup final between Raith Rovers and Rangers.

The men were detained after officers carried out action in Kirkcaldy, Glasgow, Renfrew, Edinburgh and Grangemouth, and Dumfries on Tuesday and Wednesday.

They have all been charged with breach of the peace in connection with trouble that flared in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket before the match at Easter Road.

All of the men will appear in court at a later date.

Police have said they will continue to follow a positive line of enquiry in relation others connected with this disturbance.

Chief Inspector Alun Williams said: “The Ramsdens Cup Final was a great day out for both sets of fans and the behaviour of the vast majority in attendance was exemplary.

“However, a small minority became involved in disorder within the Grassmarket, causing fear and alarm to other members of the public.

“These actions were totally unacceptable and as a result of joint enforcement activity undertaken by officers from across Police Scotland, several arrests have now been made, with more likely in the coming days.

“We will seek Football Banning Orders in each case, and wish to send a clear message that disorder of any form will not be tolerated and anyone found to be responsible for offences of this nature will be robustly dealt with”.
