Police release images of man following assault at Celtic-Hearts title decider
Police investigation into title decider continues
Police Scotland has released images of a man who may be able to assist enquiries into an assault that occurred at the Celtic v Hearts fixture at Celtic Park on Saturday, May 16.
The man is described as in his early 40s, heavy build with greying hair. He was wearing grey/khaki shorts, a beige jacket, white trainers and sunglasses.
A mass pitch invasion followed the end of the highly-anticipated SPL title decider in Glasgow on the last day of the season, with Hearts only needing a point to secure their first top flight title since 1960.
Celtic fans streamed onto the pitch when the home side clinched a 3-1 victory with two goals in the closing stages, having fallen behind in the first half to a goal by then Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland.
Constable Ryan Beveridge, of the Greater Glasgow Football Enquiry Unit, said: “I would urge the man in the image, or anyone who has information relating to them, to contact us. Information can be given by calling 101, quoting incident number 0880 of 16 May, 2026, or by phoning Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
