Two months after the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox Police Scotland have issued an appeal for 39 fans.
It has been slow progress despite wide spread television coverage and thousands of images taken by photographers of fans on the pitch.
So far there has been a trickle of arrests made. It seems that every week or so there is an announcement of two more fans being charged over incidents relating to the match.
After 120 minutes without a goal Celtic won 4-2 on penalties with Tomas Cvancara sealing the match in front of the Copland Road Stand.
Around 60 Celtic fans came out of the Broomloan Road Stand to celebrate in an empty goal-mouth.
As that was fading away fans from the three other stands at Ibrox decided to invade the pitch.
One member of the Celtic medical team was physically attacked on the pitch. Cvancara was interviewed by Premier Sports with blood on his shirt.
Officers investigating disorder at the Scottish Cup Quarter Final have released CCTV images of 24 people they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
Anyone with info can call 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Hundreds of home fans ended up on the pitch with just a fragile line of Police Officers and stewards holding them at bay on the 18 yard line.
Police Officers and stewards were attacked on the pitch. Many of the incidents were captured in detail on social media.
IBROX INCIDENTS ARE FINALLY GETTING DEALT WITH
After a few minutes on the pitch the home fans departed while the 7,000 fans celebrated a victory and the surrender of the home supporters.
So far the SFA have kicked the issue into the long grass with an independent inquiry.
The findings are likely to be published during Scotland’s World Cup matches in the USA with promises that lessons will be learned.
This Sunday 2,200 away fans will attend the Glasgow Derby at Celtic Park.
An appeal against Celtic demanding that no tickets go to the Union Bears was rejected by the SPFL. How that is enforced remains a mystery
Only an idiot would anticipate a trouble free afternoon across Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
Shame on club for not banning all of them lowlife scum wouldn’t have any of them tramps inside Celtic Park… 90mins of disgusting bigotry and then the clean up after them animals wreck the away end and toilets, scum of the earth
Holy moly…..it’s like a Jeremy Kyle waiting room when u look at them all.
Nae need to worry, they’ll catch most of them on Sunday over at our place.
Totally & The Celtic fans will somehow get the Blame for it but I don’t give a ? aslong as CELTIC WIN cause any result will kick them off doesn’t take much.
The Polis took a few sore yin’s from The Sevco Hun Hoards that day…
The don’t and won’t like that one little iota naturally…
I think if they try any shite on Sunday they’ll be fu**ed…
I still think they’ll hit one of our players with some sort of missile and if they lose they’ll attack Celtic pubs or isolated fans…
Please tread carefully Hoops fans if Sevco lose !
Where’s the photo of the match Commander?
The policing of the game must come into question?
