Three more arrests have been made over fan disorder at the Rangers v Celtic Scottish Cup quarter final at Ibrox earlier this year.

Police said the three men arrested - aged 45, 30 and 20 - have been charged in connection with assault and breach of the peace offences.

Fans invaded the pitch at the end of the game at Ibrox on 8 March, which Celtic won 4-2 on penalties after the game finished 0-0.

A total of 43 arrests have now been made in connection with the scenes at the end of the match, one of several cases of crowd trouble in Scottish football this year.

The men will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.

Police Scotland said officers are continuing to appeal to anyone who believes they recognise the people in CCTV images to contact the force.

A dedicated major incident public portal, featuring images and footage, can also be used to pass on information.
