FOUR people have been arrested in connection with violence and disorder that took place among football fans in Glasgow.
On Saturday afternoon, groups of rival fans clashed on Paisley Road West, near Ibrox stadium where Rangers were playing Tottenham Hotspur.
In a statement by Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland, he confirmed that a 24-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident.
The man has been charged with alleged mobbing and rioting offences.
Sutherland said: "Around 1.30pm on Saturday, police officers were allegedly attacked with street furniture on Paisley Road West, near to Seaward Street, as they prevented a disturbance between rival football supporters.
"There have been a significant number of football fans intent on causing disorder and violence across the city this afternoon and police officers have had to act swiftly and robustly to ensure public safety and reduce disorder.
"As we approach the new football season I would make it clear that this behaviour will not be tolerated. It impacts other members of the public and the vast majority of football supporters who are in the city to enjoy the game."
Now police have confirmed a further three arrests in relation to the disorder.
Three men, aged 25, 27 and 51, have been charged with alleged breach of the peace.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "There were four men arrested in relation to the football disorder in Glasgow on Saturday, July 23, 2022.
"A 24-year-old man was charged with alleged mobbing and rioting offences and police assault, whilst a further three men, aged 25, 27 and 51 years, were charged with alleged breach of the peace offences."
