POLICE have arrested and charged 11 men in connection with disorder offences which took place before, during and after a match between Celtic and Motherwell.
The game at Fir Park on September 30 saw reports of items being thrown onto the pitch as well as a pitch invasion by fans towards the end of the match.
One steward and one police officer were injured prior to the kick-off.
The men are all aged between 15 and 30 with a report of the alleged crimes being submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
Police Scotland added that it had worked with stewards at the time to minimise disruption and ensure the safety of other fans in attendance.
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!
