More arrests today after the pitch invasion

[hibs0666]

Ten more arrests made today in Edinburgh and Glasgow, will all due in Glasgow Sheriff Court tomorrow.

[Dashing Bob S]

As long as the authorities come down hard on the Glaswegian thugs, and the Police Officers who callously framed the decent Edinburgh gentlemen.

[SJM]

Be interesting to see what they're for.

I hope they have arrested the Hun creep that tried to abduct that wee boy.

And the 'The' official that took a kick at the Hibs fan in the technical area

Three phases apparently, violent conduct the first one, causing a disturbance then causing damage.

This may be related to the abduction of Mark Warburton.

Careful there Robert, there are a hardy bunch of Good ****s in the Lost Tribe through in Glasgow and a disappointingly numerous bunch of Hun thugs in our fair capital. Addresses mean nothing at this stage.

causing damage could be classed as digging up the turf & bursting the goalposts

From Sky:

Police Scotland investigating trouble after the Scottish Cup final have made 10 arrests following dawn raids across the country.

Over 30 officers were involved in the operation, visiting addresses primarily in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as part of the operation into violence and disorder following Hibernian's 3-2 victory over Rangers at Hampden Park on May 21.

The operation is part of a phased approach from Police Scotland, who are looking into the trouble immediately after the match before turning their attention to other matters, including vandalism.

In all, 26 people have been arrested since the final which was marred when several thousand Hibernian fans, and a number of Rangers supporters, entered the field of play after an injury-time goal from skipper David Gray ended the Edinburgh side's 114-year wait for Scottish Cup glory.

A number of Rangers players were reportedly assaulted as they attempted to leave the pitch, prompting Police Scotland to launch a full investigation.

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, detective superintendent Kenny Graham of Police Scotland said: "Today's operation is the first phase in relation to the investigation that has been conducted into the aftermath of the Scottish Cup final on the 21st of May.

"Over the last three weeks we've had a team of officers who have been engaged in investigating the scenes that took place on the park in relation to the violence and disorder and vandalism that took place there.

"With the scale of this investigation and the number of people we witnessed on that park, I've had to phase this, or stage this, into three separate phases.

"So this phase involved the investigation into violence, there has already been arrests in relation to alleged assaults on Rangers football players, so the activities today focused on those other offenders who have been involved in violence or identified as having been involved in violence.

"Thereafter we have to focus on disorder and vandalism."

All 10 arrested will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

So the bit in bold from Mr Polis confirms that the only folk charged with assaulting rangers players are the two balloons already arrested, for shoving the goalie and swinging at Wallace. Where are the arrests and assaults on the players Chick Young saw "getting a kick in" and other "journalists" saw hibs fans laying in to?

Correct. Plenty good guys in the LToGC and plenty of rancid Zombies in EH6

And trampling the trackside advertising as well perhaps.

[BigKev]

Only ten arrests in "phase 1" for the most serious charges (13 in total I think) doesn't seem many.

Wonder what PS will class as disorder and vandalism in phases 2 & 3...

Going on this evidence there'll be about 40 arrests in total. I doubt this'll appease TRFC 😂🏆

[dangermouse]

So if prosecutions go ahead for the alleged assault of The Rangers players, will said players need to be called as witnesses to give evidence against the accused?

Remember Traynor's press release - "every (The) Rangers player and some staff members were punched, kicked and spat upon", so that means at least 11 arrests and probably should be way more as the way the huns were talking was that each player was set upon as if by a horde of rampaging, riotous, out of control barbarians (or huns even ).

If the plea is not guilty I would have thought so.

I think so far the guy that jostled the goalie pled guilty and is awaiting sentence and the guy that swung at Wallace made no plea and was bailed.

It would be very interesting for someone to dig into the cases and produce a tally of Hibs/Huns and their respective convictions. Doubt it will happen though.

Yes.

So we should expect every The Rangers player on the field at the end to be cited as witnesses, plus David Weir and whoever else in their staff was allegedly "punched, kicked and spat upon".

[Kojock]

Wonder how many of the people who thought it would be a jolly jape to rip down the goal posts and dig up the pitch now dread answering the door ??

[WhileTheChief..]

So, as predicted, the whole thing is fizzling out.

All the stuff about Rangers players being assaulted was nonsense from a few journos.

When all is said and done a couple of Hibs fans will have been nicked, the club might get a wee fine and we'll still be Scottish Cup holders :)

Must be a misprint, mate. Everyone knows it wasn't "10" but "1000's" of Hibs fans who attacked the The Rangers players.
