Chief Inspector Joanne McEwan said : “The disorder on Saturday in the town centre was unacceptable.

“Everyone should be able to enjoy their weekend but the behaviour of those involved caused local people to feel intimated.

“This will not be tolerated. Enquiries are underway to trace those responsible.

“We work closely with our partners and football clubs to minimise disorder and antisocial behaviour in order to keep people safe.

“I would urge anyone who has footage of the incident to contact Police Scotland.”

Call 101 and quote reference 1199 of 17 September, 2022.”
