Police Scotland's investigation into the Celtic title party disorder has now reached 24 arrests after four more men were arrested and charged in connection with the Glasgow city-centre trouble. The four men were aged 30, 30, 25 and 21. Police also said the arrests were made at five properties in Springburn and Govanhill in Glasgow, and in Blantyre and Bothwell in South Lanarkshire.
Police say inquiries continue
Superintendent Derrick Johnston said: "Today's operation is the result of extensive work over a number of weeks and we will continue to carry out inquiries."
He also said: "I hope this day of action makes it clear to those involved that we will not give up and you will be brought to justice."
That is the clearest line in this update: police are treating the case as ongoing, not as a finished piece of business. Scotland officers previously published images of 58 people they wanted to interview, which shows how wide the inquiry already was before this latest group of arrests.
What police say happened in Glasgow
Police Scotland said the disorder followed Celtic's title win in Glasgow city centre, after about 3,000 supporters gathered. The force said two officers were seriously injured and three members of the public required hospital treatment.
Johnston said significant inquiries remain ongoing into the disorder, which impacted communities, businesses, police officers and supporters. Last year's unofficial title party led to 19 arrests and injuries to four police officers, which gives this year's figures a grim familiarity without making the two incidents identical.
Kelty Hearts are not part of this case, but the investigation is still moving through the people police want to speak to and the properties they have searched. Police say the work will continue, and the next update will depend on how many of the remaining 58 people can be traced and interviewed.
