More arrests over Uefa disorder

Police made a further seven arrests on Tuesday morning

Two teenagers were among eight more people who have been arrested in connection with violence at last year's Uefa Cup Final in Manchester.

The two youths, aged 16 and 17, were arrested in Ruchazie, Glasgow.

Police said six men - aged 20, 24, 25, 27, 29 and 42 - had also been detained and all were being taken to Manchester for questioning.

It followed five arrests on Monday and brings the total number of people detained to 18.

In January police issued CCTV images of 49 suspects believed to have been involved in violence following the final between Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg in May last year.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said they now had about 45 names for those featured in the images.

Large scale disorder broke out in the city after a screen in the largest fan zone failed before kick-off.

The violence saw officers and supporters clash in the streets, resulting in a number of injuries and criminal damage.

Joint operation

Over recent months GMP officers have ploughed through hours of CCTV, identifying those suspected of being involved.

They also travelled to Strathclyde, and other Scottish police forces, showing images of alleged offenders to hundreds of officers.

The latest arrests were part of a joint operation with Strathclyde Police and Lothian and Borders Police.

In Airdrie a 29-year-old man and a 24-year-old man were detained. A 25-year-old was arrested in Glasgow.

Officers also detained a 20-year-old man in Shotts, a 27-year-old man in Haddington, East Lothian, and a 42-year-old man in Dalkeith, Midlothian, on suspicion of violent disorder.

Five men arrested on Monday were questioned in Manchester then bailed pending further enquiries.

Five others, detained over the last six weeks in connection with the disorder, have also been released on bail.
