Two further arrests have been made following violent scenes at George Square during Rangers fans title celebrations on May 15 and officers have warned this is “just the beginning”.
Two men, aged 34 and 44, have been arrested and charged in relation to the disorder.
They have been released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.
The total number of arrests is currently now sitting at 30 as 47 officers were injured during the large gathering, with a further 29 near misses.
Officers investigating the large scale disturbance have now warned those involved that they will be found and arrested, regardless of the time it takes to trace them.
Detective Inspector Craig Warren, who is leading the investigation, said: “These arrests are just the beginning and the public can be confident we are doing everything possible to identify those responsible for the violence and disorder that took place.

“This will take time due to the numbers involved but rest assured, if you were involved in causing this disorder, violence or anti-social behaviour you will be arrested.
“We are continuing to review CCTV, video and still images and I would appeal to anyone who may have captured incidents on their mobiles to please get in touch with us. You may have footage that could help us in our investigation and it’s vital we speak with you.
