Amid the chaos, Strathclyde Police lost control of Glasgow city centre for more than an hour last night as hundreds of English and Scots football hooligans rioted through streets crowded with terrified shoppers
.
By the time police brought calm to the city centre, at around 5pm, more than 100 hooligans had been arrested. A further 23 were arrested at Hampden. Sporadic skirmishes continued throughout the city, but by then police were dealing rapidly with the trouble.

Now consider there were between 150 and 200,000 Scottish fans in Manchester. There were 46 arrests out of that total, most of the fans were unware of the trouble until the following day.
And when you think over double the number of fans were arrested remember that the laws on arrest are completely different in Scotland than England. Out the 46 arrests only 11 have been charged (so far). Out the 100 they would all have been charged.
