POLICE have released their biggest batch of CCTV images to date of more than 50 people they want to trace in connection with the disorder and violence at the end of the 2016 Scottish Cup final.
The match at Hampden Park on May 21 was disrupted when fans invaded the pitch after Hibernian's 3-2 win over Rangers, which was the Edinburgh side's first Scottish Cup win in more than a century.
Hibernian supporters flooded the pitch after their side's dramatic last-minute win, with Rangers fans also making it past stewards and onto the turf before mounted officers restored order.
Police have so far arrested more than 130 people in connection with the incident and have now released photos of the supporters they want to identify.
Anyone with information about the identities of the persons pictured is asked to contact the Incident room at Govan Police Office, Greater Glasgow CID on 0141 532 5457 or the dedicated mailbox address scottishcupfinalpitchinvasion@scotland.pnn.police.uk or alternatively CRIMESTOPPERS can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
