Dale Pryde, from Edinburgh, is accused of running towards and attempting to punch Wallace on the head at Hampden Park, and attempting to punch Holt. Mr Pryde is also accused of breaching the peace by running on to the pitch towards Rangers supporters and brandishing a chair. He made no plea or declaration and was released on bail. He is expected to appear again at a later date.

It is said there were far more CELTIC supporters on the field than Rangers supporters.

13 minutes ago From the section Glasgow & West Scotland Image caption Hibs fans invaded the pitch after their team's triumph over Rangers A man has admitted running towards Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and gesticulating in an offensive manner after the Scottish Cup Final. Greg Binnie, 19, admitted a charge under the Offensive Behaviour Act following disorder after Saturday's game at Hampden, which Hibs won 3-2. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, sentence on Binnie, from Ratho, near Edinburgh, was deferred and he was granted bail. The Crown has requested a football banning order also be considered. The court heard that after the final whistle Binnie had climbed over fencing onto the field of play. The charge also states he engaged in behaviour likely to incite public disorder. His solicitor told the court the incident had led to threats being made to Binnie and his family. He said Binnie, who has no previous convictions, was deeply ashamed. Meanwhile another teenager appeared on petition at the same court accused of assaulting Rangers players Lee Wallace and Jason Holt. Dale Pryde, from Edinburgh, is accused of running towards and attempting to punch Wallace on the head at Hampden Park, and attempting to punch Holt. Mr Pryde is also accused of breaching the peace by running on to the pitch towards Rangers supporters and brandishing a chair. He made no plea or declaration and was released on bail.

I think you better watch with that 26 he may take issue to it and take you to court.

I don't think anyone should be judged on the actions of a family member. He admits he came from a bad area and followed the ways of the street and admits he was lucky he could play football

Not just Sky. BT, BBC,Setanta and other overseas contracts. In answer to your Question. These things are not hard to google.

Just thought I would throw this in. With the signing of Crooks Barton and Rossiter it looks like Warburton may be changing from his preferred 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1 formation. At the moment with the players we have I think it would be. Barton Rossiter Forrester Halliday\Holt McKay Waghorn I think life may be a bit more difficult for Halliday next season as Holt and Forrester may be preferred in that advanced role. Waghorn could also be wide right with Miller keeping his place.

"He who is without sin can cast the first stone" While I have never stuck a cigarette in someone's eye I have done things I am ashamed of now. I think most people do things they later regret. Sometimes you do not even realise what the consequences of your actions could be. Even just jumping a red light. Do we ever think what the consequences could be if it caused a serious crash and someone got killed. There have been Rangers players before who have done things that were not Rangers class and were still accepted. Barton was 18 when he pushed the cigarette in the guy's eye it was 15 years ago. As for getting sent off I couldn't even think of slating him for that as my record wasn't great either. Frustration is probably the biggest cause of getting sent off. Drink is probably the biggest cause of violence.

My opinion that he is way too slow.

Surely the new Champions league proposal is a cross border league.

Hampden chaos: Only 138 cops were on duty inside the stadium when thousands of fans invaded the pitch Hampden chaos: Only 138 cops were on duty inside the stadium when thousands of fans invaded the pitch THE Record can reveal it was a very thin blue line that policed the crowd at Saturday's Scottish Cup Final with the majority of officers deployed OUTSIDE where cops had anticipated trouble might start. ONLY 138 police officers were inside Hampden when thousands of Hibs fans invaded the pitch, the Record understands. The majority of officers had already been deployedoutside the stadium as that was where security and police chiefs anticipated trouble might flare. Officers then struggled to get back inside to help deal with the fans who had overwhelmed the security cordon. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has ordered the SFA to complete their investigation into the cup final chaos before the new season kicks off. Hibs fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle after their team scored the winning goal in injury time. Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham was caught up in the chaos and pushed by a fan as he made his way off the pitch. Yesterday, he called for action to be taken against those involved in the shameful scenes inside the national stadium. A police source said that the limited numbers of police inside the stadium was one reason so few people were arrested during the melee. The source added: “There were less than 150 cops inside the stadium – 138 is the exact figure I’ve been quoted. “The rest were outside and there was a mad dash to try and get back in when the trouble broke out. “That’s another reason why the arrest figure was so low, given the amount of trouble. “It was because the limited number of police and stewards were concentrating more on just containing the fans on the pitch and trying to shepherd them back into the stands. “They didn’t have enough cops to grab everyone who was causing trouble. “Suffice to say there are a lot of serious questions getting asked in Police Scotland about the deployment of resources and the way that this was all handled.” Witnesses backed up the account of most police being deployed outside the stadium as the match drew to a close on Saturday. One autograph hunter who was outside Hampden said a chain of dozens of police barred him from approaching the stadium. David Johnson, from Wishaw, didn’t have a ticket for the match but wanted to try to get some memorabilia signed by the teams. The 56-year-old said he was stopped by an officer who told him he couldn’t go any further. He added: “They were the width of the car park – from the gate up the steps to the entrance.. “I explained I was there for autographs but she said ‘You’re not going in today, it’s a big game and there could be trouble’.” A police spokeswoman said the force would not discuss numbers or the deployment of officers. Matheson said he wants the independent commission appointed in the wake of Saturday’s carnage to publish their findings before the new season starts in August. He revealed his demand to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon yesterday as the new Scottish Cabinet met for the first time. He also briefed the Cabinet about his discussions with the SFA and the police in the aftermath of the disorder. A Scottish Government spokesman said the fact both Rangers and Celtic would be in the top flight next year had not influenced Matheson’s call for a prompt inquiry. But he added that it had strengthened the argument for the review to be fast-tracked so lessons could be learned before the new season. Foderingham, who is originally from Liverpool, was among the players targeted by some of the fans. The Gers squad were prevented from speaking to the media in the aftermath of Saturday’s final but Foderingham took to Twitter yesterday morning and said action must be taken. The 25-year-old posted: “Still getting over the disappointment of Saturday. A bad end to what has been a great season for the club. We go again in four weeks. “Massive thank you for the outstanding support this season. It has been a pleasure to play in front of such special fans this year. “As for the disgraceful scenes after the game I for one think action must be taken. No player should have to evade attack on the pitch.” Dozens of fights broke out when Rangers fans rushed on to the pitch to confront the Hibs fans. Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie has condemned the acts of violence after coming under fire for initially describing the invasion as “over exuberance”.

To be honest I think the rot set in before Lawell came in. When Sky called our bluff was when Scottish football collapsed.

Is this also him?

I am starting to like him.

I refrained from counting and what is 50 people over 2500 sq meters.

Sorry Frankie I reacted at the same time.

He is not being banned as he has not broken any rules. You may not agree with him but then you should debate that fact. The stupid calling of names has never won a debate and we would prefer it to stop.

He is correct he never touched Fotherinham but it was just his luck that another pushed him aside. He was racing at Fotheringham with his fist already clenched ready to strike. Intent is also a crime.

Just thought I would bump this again for those who missed it.

Can you explain this, and who is it?

He has still to start on the other 20.000.

Don't hold your breath!

Funny how every other clubs supporters scream for Rangers blood when we supposedly stray from the straight path but scream innocence when they are in the same or worse position. Don't forget your club and supporters are still shouting for titles to be removed from us. Rangers were being raped by a criminal gang and your claty little club supporters and chairman were one of the leaders in the fight to have us demoted out of the SPL. Sporting integrity was the call. Where was\is the sporting integrity from your club leaders who have not even bothered to contact Rangers to apologise for the assaults on our players. Should your club represent Scotland in Europe. No! Your fans cannot be trusted to behave properly and your club find it okay for them to enter the field of play in the name of over exuberance. Your club should also be banned from next seasons cup. After all a player misses the next game when he commits a foul.

It has also been stated on social media it was planned well in advance which means it was premeditated and not over exuberance. Your own supporters are seemingly saying a pitch invasion was planned no matter who won the cup.
