Two More Charged Over Old Firm Disorder at Ibrox, Bringing Total to 20

Police signal more arrests will follow from extensive CCTV reviews under Operation Moonglint.

Overview

  • Police Scotland said two men, aged 18 and 19, have been arrested and charged in connection with the Ibrox disorder, taking the total to 20.
  • The new charges follow a post-match pitch invasion and clashes after Celtic’s penalty win, when missiles including a lit flare were thrown and several people were hurt.
  • Reported injuries included a 10-year-old struck by a coin, an officer hit on the head by a bottle, and a female officer kicked to the ground near the Broomloan stand.
  • Detectives running Operation Moonglint are reviewing large volumes of CCTV and public footage and say further arrests are expected, with tips invited via 101, Crimestoppers, or the Major Incident Public Portal.
  • Following local reports that Celtic plan to withhold Rangers’ 2,200 away tickets for the next Parkhead meeting, Rangers asked the SPFL to refer the dispute to an independent sub-committee.
