Hibernian supporters flooded the Hampden pitch after the Edinburgh side’s dramatic 3-2 win, while Rangers fans also made it past stewards and on to the turf before mounted officers restored order.

In the latest police action, an 18-year-old man was arrested on Sunday and a 27-year-old man was arrested the following day over alleged violence and disorder at the match.

At the weekend, Police Scotland released 13 images of fans on the pitch at Hampden as they continued their investigation.
