Pictures of 28 more people released as probe into Celtic fan disorder continues

Police investigating the disorder that marred Celtic’s Premiership title win have released images of more people they are looking to trace.

Two officers were seriously injured and three members of the public needed hospital treatment after thousands of Celtic fans descended on the Trongate area of Glasgow to celebrate Celtic’s win over Hearts on May 16.

Some fans were seen climbing traffic lights and other objects, and police said officers had glass bottles and other missiles thrown at them amid what they described as “unacceptable violence”.

The crowds were eventually dispersed by officers wearing riot gear.

A number of arrests have already been made, and police said extensive inquiries into violence and anti-social behaviour during the incident are ongoing.

Police have released CCTV images of a further 28 people they are looking to trace as part of their investigation, and have appealed to the public to get in touch if they recognise any of them.

Images of 28 other people were released on Monday, bringing the total published so far to 56.

Chief Superintendent Emma Croft, divisional commander for Greater Glasgow, said: “Significant inquiries remain ongoing into this disorder which impacted communities, businesses, police officers and supporters.

“I would urge the people in these images, or anyone who believes they may recognise them, to contact us.

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting Operation Gristaline, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A dedicated web portal has also been set up for members of the public to pass information, images and footage directly to the major investigation team.
