Two further arrests have been made over the disorder in Glasgow's George Square as Rangers fans celebrated the club's league title win.

Thousands of supporters ignored Covid-19 warnings against large gatherings and massed in the square on Saturday May 15 after the club lifted their first Scottish Premiership championship trophy since 2011.

There were 47 injuries among police officers as they tried to control large crowds, said the force.

Police Scotland said on Thursday that two men aged 28 and 29 have been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

They have been released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.

A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal for both individuals.

It means there have now been 47 arrests in connection with the George Square disorder and one arrest over an incident near Ibrox Stadium on the same day.

A dedicated inquiry police team was set up following the disorder.
