The Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Articles (Scotland) Act 2022, which came into force in June, prohibits the possession of pyrotechnic articles in public places and at designated venues and events.

There have been 11 arrests at football matches under the legislation so far, the BBC reports.

Over the same period, two banning orders have also been issued in relation to pyrotechnics at football matches.

A spokesperson for the SPFL said: “The Scottish football authorities and member clubs are committed to working with our partners, including Scottish government and Police Scotland, to find a collective solution to tackling the use of pyrotechnics within our stadia.

“It is our intention to work together to drive forward plans to reinforced the message to fans that the use of pyro is illegal and can cause a significant safety hazard to players, fellow fans and everyone involved in what should be a safe and enjoyable matchday experience for all.”
