The number of arrests made at yesterday's Scottish Cup semi-final clash between Celtic and St Mirren has been revealed.

Police confirmed one arrest during the match at Hampden Park in Glasgow, which saw Celtic secure their place in the Scottish Cup final with a 6-2 extra-time win.

A 41-year-old man was charged in connection with threatening and abusive behaviour and resisting arrest during the match and is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 41-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with threatening and abusive behaviour and resisting arrest within Hampden Park during the Scottish Cup semi-final between Celtic and St Mirren on Sunday, 19 April, 2026.

“He will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.”

Another individual has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal for alleged drug possession.

Three other men were issued recorded police warnings for the same alleged offence.

Sunday’s game was a dramatic affair, with Celtic taking a 2-0 lead before St Mirren’s Mikael Mandron levelled the score with two late goals.

Celtic then scored four unanswered goals in extra time to secure victory and book their place in the final, where they will face Dunfermline.
