Four men are jailed for their roles in violent clashes involving Rangers and Celtic supporters before the 2024 Scottish League Cup final. According to reporting from Glasgow Times and the Daily Record, the offences relate to incidents that occur in the lead-up to the match, when confrontations between the two sets of fans escalated. The Glasgow Times also describes the disturbance as involving shoppers in the area, with people reportedly running for cover during the disorder.
The Daily Record names the men as Andrew Campbell, John Devine, Thomas Slavin and Liam Coogans, and reports that they admitted involvement in the violent clashes. Both outlets link the sentencing to the same set of events staged around the final, and present the case as one involving group disorder associated with the Old Firm rivalry. The coverage is consistent that four individuals receive custodial sentences and that their admissions form part of how their cases proceed.
