Three men were arrested for alleged assault and knife-related offences after the Celtic v Utrecht match.
The the males, aged 36, 37, and 17, were arrested following the match on Thursday after police responded to reports of disorder.
The trio were arrested for offences including alleged assault and carrying a bladed weapon.
Police also said fireworks and other projectiles were thrown, injuring a handful of officers.
The 36-year-old man is due to appear in court on Friday and the other two will appear in court at a later date.
Chief Superintendent Phil Davison said: “This behaviour has no place in football or in local communities and it will not be tolerated.
“A number of missiles and fireworks were thrown and four officers sustained minor injuries. There were no other injuries reported.
“Being assaulted is not part of the job for police officers. We take a zero tolerance approach to violence against emergency service workers and will hold those responsible to account.
“Subsequent inquiries will continue to identify offenders in the disorder.
“Police Scotland is committed to working with clubs to ensure safe match day experiences for all.”
