Nine arrests have been made following Hibernian's trip to St Johnstone last month.

The men have been charged with breach of the peace offences for disorder before and after the Premiership game in Perth on 2 January.

Police were investigating incidents that took place in Strathtay Road and Long Causeway.

All were released on an undertaking and appeared at Perth Sheriff Court on Friday.

Inspector Stephen Gray said: “Any disorder before, during or after a football match is unacceptable.

“Officers work hard to create a safe environment not just at football matches but also before and after the event. These arrests send a strong message that we will not tolerate football related disorder in any form.”
