Police have made 13 arrests at Gerry Cinnamon's first of two concerts at Hampden Park - with people detained for "disorder-related offences".
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said that the people arrested were all men, between the ages of 16 and 53. The gig was plagued with ticket gate issues after those who bought the briefs before the pandemic reported problems with having their ballots scanned.
The spokesperson said: "There were 13 arrests, all men aged between 16 and 53. The arrests were mainly for disorder related offences."
Castlemilk-born star Gerry arrived on stage at 9.10pm on Saturday night after performances from The Snuts, Jake Bugg and the Charlatans.
But tickets issued by gig promoter Music Glue reportedly proved problematic at the gates of Hampden, with punters taking to social media to complain of hour-long queues on the turnstiles.
The arrests come after police arrested a total of 26 people over three days at TRNSMT on Glasgow Green.
Among those arrested for "disorder offences" were a 13-year-old girl and a 53-year-old man.
