New images released of Scottish Cup final violence suspects
The match at Hampden Park on May 21 was disrupted when fans invaded the pitch after Hibs’ 3-2 win over Rangers, which marked the Edinburgh side’s first Scottish Cup win in more than a century.
Hibs supporters flooded the pitch after their side’s dramatic last-minute win, with Rangers fans also making it past stewards and on to the turf before mounted officers restored order.
