Ten more people have been charged over disorder linked to ST Johnstone's match with Hibernian in Perth. Police say the incidents happened during and after the game at McDiarmid Park on 6 September, including on the rail network, and that the inquiry is still ongoing.
Police say the inquiry is ongoing
Insp David Rice said: "This has been a joint investigation with British Transport Police (BTP) and our inquiries remain ongoing to trace those responsible."
He also warned: "Disorder of any kind will not be tolerated and anyone involved will face the consequences."
The latest update comes after police arrested and charged five men aged between 18 and 25, along with two 16-year-old boys, on Wednesday. Three youths were also charged, taking the total number of people charged to ten more in connection with the disorder.
Police have not said that the clubs were responsible for what happened. Their focus remains on tracing those involved in the incidents reported around the match.
What police have said so far
The case now stretches beyond the game itself because officers say the disorder also involved the rail network, which is why British Transport Police are part of the investigation.
That detail gives the inquiry a wider footprint than a standard post-match arrest list, and the update from police shows it is still active rather than closed off.
The football side of the story is still just the backdrop. Hibernian are 10th in the Premiership with 7 points after 8 matches, while ST Johnstone are 5th with 11 points from 8 games, but the charges themselves are the main development here.
Anyone linked to the disorder is being told the investigation is not over yet, and the next public update will come from police rather than the clubs.
