Police have released CCTV images of 24 people as part of an investigation into violent clashes at the Scottish Cup Quarter Final at Ibrox.

Supporters and police officers were injured, and nine people were arrested following a pitch invasion after Celtic's penalty shootout win over Rangers on Sunday 8 March.

Those shown in the images, or anyone who believes they recognise them, are asked to contact police.

Information can also be sent directly to the investigation team through theMajor Incident Public Portal (MIPP).

Following the game, Rangers "unequivocally" condemned the disorder, while Celtic said "examples of unacceptable behaviour" must be addressed.

Before the clubs reacted, Chief Constable Jo Farrell had criticised them for failing to speak out.

Speaking at the Scottish Parliament, she said more needed to be done to allow people to attend matches without fearing for their safety.

The Scottish FA launched an independent review of the match, which was welcomed by both clubs.

The SFA said it hoped the review would "ensure no repeat" of what unfolded, which it said "tarnished the image and reputation of the game".
