The Justice Secretary Angela Constance has said "nothing is off the table" in responding to disorder linked to celebrations by Celtic supporters in Glasgow following the club’s title win over Hearts. Thousands gathered in the Trongate area, with more than 900 police officers deployed and two officers seriously injured. Ms Constance said the Scottish Government, football authorities, clubs and councils must work together to prevent similar incidents, particularly in Glasgow. She praised Police Scotland for its response and warned that further arrests could follow as investigations continue into offences connected to the disorder.

He argued restrictions encourage binge drinking before matches and can worsen crowd issues such as missile throwing and pitch invasions.
