Thirty-two people have now been arrested following disorder that broke out after Celtic clinched the Scottish Premiership title, with eight more charged in the latest wave of action by police.
The celebrations, which spilled onto the streets after the Hoops secured the league, turned sour in parts as trouble flared among crowds. Police Scotland have been working through the incidents since, steadily adding to the arrest tally as their investigation continues.
The eight newly charged individuals bring the running total to 32, a figure that authorities say reflects the scale of the disorder that followed the title win. Officers were deployed in significant numbers during the celebrations, and footage and witness accounts from the scenes have been used to help identify those involved.
Celtic fans packed into areas around the stadium and city centre to mark what was a landmark moment for the club, but police say a section of the crowd behaved in a way that cannot be ignored. The charges are understood to relate to a range of offences connected to the disorder.
Police Scotland have not ruled out further arrests as their investigation remains ongoing, suggesting the final number of people charged could rise beyond 32. Authorities have urged anyone with information or footage from the scenes to come forward.
The incidents have cast a shadow over what was otherwise a huge moment for Celtic supporters, and club officials have previously called on fans to celebrate responsibly. The disorder drew widespread criticism, with many pointing out that the actions of a minority risk damaging the reputation of the wider support.
Scottish football has faced recurring questions about crowd behaviour in recent years, and incidents like these tend to reignite that debate sharply. For now, police say they are committed to holding every individual involved to account.
