Mass brawl at Dens Park under inquiry

POLICE investigating disorder among Celtic fans at the club’s clash with Dundee on Boxing Day are looking for those who threw coins, set off fireworks and took part in a mass brawl.

Violence erupted in the concourse under the Bob Shankly stand at Dens Park, which housed 3,000 away fans.

Five people have already been reported to the Procurator Fiscal over alleged offences committed at the match.

Superintendent Jim Leslie, of Tayside Police, said: “We are aware of fighting in the concourse but when officers arrived it had split up and we didn’t receive complaints from the people involved so we couldn’t make any arrests. We are carrying out further inquiries to see if we can identify the people fighting. We are also investigating coin throwing and fireworks.”
