Superintendent Barry Blair said: “It is extremely disappointing to see such acts of disorder disrupt a football match and this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.

“Investigations remain ongoing and five men have so far been arrested and charged in connection with incidents that occurred prior to and during the match.

One of the alleged disorder offences includes the use of a pyrotechnic device.
