A 50-year-old football fan from Glasgow has been jailed for the disorder that followed the Scottish Cup final between Rangers and Hibernian in May.

Following a police operation on Thursday, officers also made five more arrests in connection with the alleged violence and trouble at Hampden on Saturday May 21.

The Scottish Football Association and Police Scotland launched a full investigation after the match that finished 3-2 to Hibernian.

Thousands of Hibs supporters streamed onto the pitch at the final whistle at Hampden Park after an injury-time goal from David Gray had given their team a 3-2 victory, ending a 114-year wait to win the trophy.
