Probe ordered after Scottish Cup final violence

Glasgow: A full investigation will be carried out into the violence that followed Hibernian’s historic Scottish Cup win after goalposts were destroyed, the Hampden pitch ripped up and Rangers received their losers medals in the dressing room.

The Easter Road side claimed a famous 3-2 victory thanks to a stoppage time winner to claim the Scottish Cup for the first time since 1902. Thousands of Hibs supporters flooded on to the pitch at full-time to celebrate and were followed by some Rangers fans.

A number of pitch battles between rival fans then broke out and mounted police were deployed to keep supporters apart.
