POLICE have not ruled out pressing criminal charges over the ugly scenes at the Premiership play off final between Motherwell and Rangers.
Police Scotland has previously confirmed it would be reviewing the circumstances surrounding Sunday's Fir Park bust-up.
At the end of the game, Rangers substitute Bilel Moshni kicked and punched Motherwell's Lee Erwin after being pushed by the striker at Fir Park.
Police have confirmed that the probe could lead to charges being levelled, even though criminal convictions over on-field misconduct are extremely rare.
It understood that Mohsni, who is not expected to play for Rangers again, has not been spoken to yet by police in relation to the incident.
Rangers, who have condemned Mohsni's actions say the football authorities should examine all incidents in the game, including what sources said was provocation by Motherwell supporters who invaded the pitch to go to the away stand and "goad" their fans. The pitch was eventually cleared by by stewards and police.
The club is also referring to an incident where defender Lee McCulloch was struck by a Motherwell supporter's flag. Video footage of the incident, which happened just before half-time, was shared thousands of times on social media.
A Rangers source said: "It would be extremely unfortunate if the Mohsni incident makes the behaviour of Motherwell fans irrelevant in all this. I think there is certainly a case to answer there, because that behaviour is unacceptable as well and the football authorities are duty bound to look at that as well.
"Rangers fans have to be commended for the remarkable restraint that they showed at the end of the match when Motherwell fans were clearly up at their end goading."
Rangers have previously said that Mohsni's behaviour was "completely unacceptable" and that if his contract had not now expired, the club would have started disciplinary proceedings.
Players and officials from both teams tried to break up the trouble with further scuffles breaking out at the end of the game.
The brawl on the final whistle resulted in red cards for Mohsni and home duo Erwin and Fraser Kerr.
Motherwell won the match 3-0 and the two-leg tie 6-1 on aggregate to maintain their place in the Scottish Premiership.
