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 gathered 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 two men, aged 28 and 29, have now 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.

A dedicated inquiry police team was set up following the disorder.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
