Eleven fans have been arrested following Saturday's Scottish Cup Final as police continue their investigation into scenes that marred the fixture.

Thousands of Hibs fans flooded on to the pitch at Hampden to celebrate following their team's 3-2 win over Championship rivals Rangers.

A smaller number of fans of the Ibrox side also ran on to the pitch with some supporters from both sides involved in violent clashes.

Mounted police officers were called in to restore order after what the SFA described as "contemptible behaviour" from some supporters following the final whistle.

Rangers said players and staff were assaulted by Hibs supporters and the Glasgow side did not return to the pitch to be presented with their runners-up medals.

A spokesman for the club said: "Rangers Football Club is shocked at the disgraceful behaviour of Hibs fans at full time.

"Rangers players and staff were assaulted by these fans who invaded the pitch and in the interests of their safety could not return to the pitch for the medal presentation.

"There can be no place for the violent behaviour witnessed at the end of the Final and Rangers fully expect the Scottish Football Association and Police Scotland to launch an investigation to find out where security measures failed.

"The Club would like to commend Rangers fans for the restraint they showed under severe provocation."

After fans ran on to the pitch, parts of the national stadium's turf was ripped up and goal posts were broken by people climbing on them.

Police officers are now scouring CCTV in an effort to find those responsible for any offences.

Chief Superintendent Kenny MacDonald said: "An investigation team has now been established at Helen Street Police Office.

"So far there have been 11 arrests for minor offences.

"Officers are in the process of collecting CCTV footage and collating the information that has been gathered at this stage as they try to identify those responsible for the disorder and violence on the pitch.

"As our investigation progresses I have no doubt that additional arrests will be made and would appeal to anyone with information that may assist police enquiries to come forward."

Hibs chairman and SFA president Rod Petrie said he was sorry that the "over-exuberance" of fans after the 114-year trophy wait had taken them onto the pitch.

A spokesman for the Edinburgh-based club said: "Hibernian FC confirmed that it will co-operate fully into any inquiry into the pitch invasion which followed the club's historic Scottish Cup win at Hampden Park.

"The Club reiterates its regret at the events which unfolded immediately following the final whistle.

"Hibernian always seeks to maintain high standards, and we will work with the authorities to identify any supporter who may have taken part in any form of unacceptable behaviour which has tarnished the club's reputation.

"Hibernian will work with Police Scotland, Hampden Park Stadium Management, the Scottish FA, Rangers FC and any other relevant parties to bring those responsible to book."

Scotland's justice secretary Michael Matheson said: "Violence has no place in football, either on or off the pitch, and the dreadful scenes at Hampden have undoubtedly taken the shine off Hibs' first Scottish Cup win in more than a century."

Police have asked anyone with images or video footage of incidents on the pitch involving violence or disorder to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
