Police investigating the disorder following the Rangers v Celtic Scottish Cup quarter final at Ibrox have made two further arrests.

A pitch invasion by fans marred the end of the game, which Celtic won on penalties.

Officers said a 27-year-old man was charged in connection with offences including assaulting a police officer, possessing an offensive weapon and breach of the peace.

A second man, 26, was charged in connection with an assault.

Both men have been released on an undertaking to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.

The latest arrests bring the total to 11 since the match, almost three weeks ago.

Det Ch Insp David Lamont said: "Extensive inquiries are ongoing to identify and trace those involved in the scenes which took place at the conclusion of the match on Sunday, 8 March.

"A team of officers continue to carry out inquiries and examine a large amount of CCTV images and footage to identify and trace those involved, further arrests will be made."
