Four held over Ibrox disturbance

Four people have been arrested in connection with a disturbance at the home ground of Rangers FC.

Strathclyde Police said a man, 24, two 16-year-old boys and an 18-year-old woman were arrested in Glasgow today following an investigation into an incident at Ibrox stadium on December 18 last year.

It is said to have happened during a Scottish Third Division fixture when Rangers beat visitors Annan Athletic 3-0.

Eight other men, aged between 17 and 31, were arrested on the day of the disturbance. They were released pending a court hearing at a later date.

The four people arrested today, by the football co-ordination unit for Scotland, have also been released on an undertaking and are due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on March 22.

A police spokesman said the disturbance was "brought swiftly under control" by stewards.
