Police have released images of 20 men they believe can help with inquiries into “various incidents” which occurred at a football match.
Rangers fans travelled to Kilmarnock’s Rugby Park on the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season on August 4, with many stuck outside due to printing problems with the tickets.
The away end was only about three-quarters full at kick-off, and as the game ended in dramatic fashion, some travelling supporters could be seen sitting and standing on the stadium’s stairs and entrances to the terraces.
A pitch invasion followed Connor Goldson’s 91st-minute header which secured a 2-1 victory for Rangers.
