Nine football fans arrested following 'disorder' before and after Hibs trip to St Johnstone

Nine men have been charged with breach of the peace offences after alleged disorder involving both set of fans before and after the New Year's Scottish Premiership clash on January 2, 2025.

The arrests come following a police investigation into incidents that allegedly took place in Strathtay Road and Long Causeway in Perth.

All nine men were released on an undertaking and appeared at Perth Sheriff Court on Friday, 21 February, 2025.

Inspector Stephen Gray said: “Any disorder before, during or after a football match is unacceptable.

“Officers work hard to create a safe environment not just at football matches but also before and after the event. These arrests send a strong message that we will not tolerate football related disorder in any form.”
