Four men were arrested for offences including threatening and abusive behaviour and possession of pyrotechnics during Sunday’s breathless fixture.

Elsewhere in the stadium, a man was charged with vandalism, while a 28-year-old man was arrested and charged outside Hampden for threatening and abusive behaviour.
Both will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal alongside three men and one woman will also be reported for pyrotechnic offences and threatening and abusive behaviour.
Meanwhile, three men were issued with recorded police warnings for threatening and abusive behaviour.
Superintendent Paul Douglas said: “We recognise that only a small percentage of fans behave in such a way and cause disorder, but I would encourage all fans to take personal responsibility for their conduct.”
Sunday’s match followed a face off between Aberdeen and Rangers which saw officers attacked with fireworks, glass bottles and other missiles by supporters gathered outside the stadium.
Police stress that such behaviour “will not be tolerated” and have launched and investigation into Saturday’s match.
