“A second man was issued a CRN for disorderly behaviour.”

Chief Inspector Mark Conway stated: "The majority of supporters enjoyed the game and it was generally a peaceful match.

“However, a small minority who chose to engage in criminal activity are ruining the experience for other fans, as well as causing disruption to the community.

“Our enquiries are ongoing into potential offences. I’d encourage anyone with any information to contact 101."
