POLICE have arrested more than 50 people in connection with disorder in Glasgow’s George Square on the day Rangers lifted the league trophy.
Thousands of supporters ignored Covid-19 warnings against large gatherings and massed in the square after Rangers’ last game of their victorious Scottish Premiership season on May 15.
A dedicated inquiry team was set up following large scale disorder during which there were 47 injuries to police officers.
The police have published CCTV images of those police want to trace.
Now, Police Scotland has announced four further arrests in connection with the incident, taking the total of those arrested to 53.
The most recent arrests are three men, aged 37, 31, and 28, and a 29-year-old woman.
They have been charged and released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.
This latest news comes just one week after further images were released of people the police would like to talk to in connection with the riots.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
