A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, however, enquiries are still ongoing.

In a Facebook post Police Scotland said it "supports the event organisers, being the clubs and the football authorities, to create a safe environment for people to attend and enjoy football matches".

"These arrests show that such violence and disorder has no place in football culture and our enquiries continue in order to identify those responsible for the disorder inside and outside of Hampden at this fixture.

"We are committed to working with our partners to maximise the safety of all persons attending football matches."

A spokesperson for the SPFL said: “We have been working closely with Police Scotland and the Scottish FA to investigate and address the unacceptable behaviour of a small minority of supporters at the recent Viaplay Cup Final.

“We are encouraged by the progress which has already been made and look forward to more of the individuals involved being identified in the near future.”
