Eight men have been charged after an alleged disturbance at a north football match.
The men have been charged following incidents during and after Elgin City’s Scottish Cup tie against Inverness Caledonian Thistle last month.
Four males – aged 16, 18, 19 and 20 – have been charged in connection with an alleged disturbance after the match.
The other four males – three aged 16 and a 22-year-old – have been charged under the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act in connection with alleged incidents inside the ground during the match.
A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal and they will be expected to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court at a later date.
It is understood that four men are from Inverness and the other four from Elgin.
Divisional Commander for Moray, Chief Inspector Stewart Mackie, said: “Thank you to the members of the public who provided officers with invaluable information in connection with this inquiry.”
He added: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the vast majority of the 4,000 fans who attended and ensured the match was, on the whole, a safe and enjoyable event.”
