A further six men have been arrested in connection with the disorder at the end of the Scottish Cup final, bringing the total detained to 76.

The match at Hampden Park in Glasgow on May 21 was marred when fans invaded the pitch after Hibs' 3-2 win over Rangers - the Leith side's first Scottish Cup win in more than a century.

Police said the latest men arrested are aged 17, 20, 22, 29, 39 and 46, and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

Hibernian supporters rushed on to the pitch after their side's dramatic last-minute win, with fans of Rangers also making it past stewards and on to the turf before mounted officers restored order.

The police investigation into the trouble is continuing and officers are appealing to anyone with information to either contact the inquiry team on 0141 532 5457, email scottishcupfinalpitchinvasion@scotland.pnn.police.uk or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
