Three more men have been arrested and charged over the Old Firm disorder at Ibrox, taking the total to 40. Police Scotland said the men are aged 39, 38 and 28. The latest charges come after a post-match scene that included flares, a pitch invasion and allegations of attacks on stewards and staff.
What police say happened at Ibrox
Police said flares were seen being fired into the midst of fans during the chaos after the Scottish Cup quarter-final. A steward was seen being carried from the pitch, and supporters, police officers and stadium workers came under attack.
That is the level of disorder now sitting behind the arrest total. It is also why the fallout has stretched beyond the pitch and into the wider game.
Why the fallout is still growing
The SPFL also backed Celtic after league bosses ruled Rangers were entitled to their five per cent allocation, but said they would “not overrule a risk assessment carried out by the party legally responsible for the safety and security of the event”.
The wider mood around both clubs matters too. Rangers arrived in this period on a five-match league losing run, while Celtic were on a five-match league winning run. Rangers sat second in the Premiership on 69 points, 13 behind Celtic's 82 in the championship round table.
The key point, though, is the same one police are dealing with now. Three more men have been charged, and the total arrests linked to the Ibrox disorder stands at 40.
