Police are looking into fan violence during the Hibs and St Johnstone game, promising to track down those responsible
Edinburgh: So, there was some serious trouble during the Hibs and St Johnstone match. Police are now digging into what went down.
The game on January 2 ended in a 1-1 draw, but it wasn’t just the score that got people talking. There were reports of clashes between fans, and police had to step in.
Videos popped up online showing fans running from the cops, which is pretty wild. It seems like the trouble started after the match wrapped up.
Sources mentioned that a group called Block 7, known for their rowdy behavior, was involved in the chaos. Before the game, there were over 50 fans dressed in black, which definitely raised some eyebrows.
After the match, more footage showed police dealing with fans who had their hoods up and faces covered. It’s a bit concerning, to say the least.
A spokesperson from Police Scotland said they’re on it, working to keep everyone safe during these events. They made it clear that any kind of disorder is not okay and they’re determined to find those responsible.
It’s a shame that a game meant for fun turned into something so serious. Let’s hope they get to the bottom of it soon.
