 Much of the violence was captured by CCTV cameras
|
Two men have been charged over an attack on a police officer after last year's Uefa Cup Final in Manchester.
Scott McSeveney, from Shotts, North Lanarkshire, and Mark Stoddart, from Glasgow, are accused of violent disorder and a Section 47 assault.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the charges related to an attack on Pc John Goodwin, who was kicked and stamped upon while on the ground.
Rangers were defeated 2-0 by Zenit St Petersburg in the final in May 2008.
It is alleged that Mr Stoddart tripped up Pc Goodwin and Mr McSeveney kicked and stamped on him.
Crimewatch appeal
The attack on Pc Goodwin, who was knocked unconscious and suffered swelling to his brain after being repeatedly punched and kicked, was captured by CCTV cameras.
The CPS' reviewing lawyer Andrew Holt said a third man, Brian McVicar, from East Kilbride, will also be charged with violent disorder. His charge does not relate to the attack on Pc Goodwin.
Mr McSeveney, 21, Mr Stoddard, 25, and 19-year-old Mr McVicar are all due to appear at Manchester City Magistrates Court on 10 August.
About 150,000 Rangers fans travelled to Manchester city centre for the match on 14 May last year.
Violence erupted when a big screen in the largest fan zone in Piccadilly Gardens failed to show the game.
Groups of supporters clashed with police, with officers suffering dislocated shoulders, broken fingers, and bruising.
Greater Manchester Police issued a Crimewatch appeal to catch the culprits in January, leading to the arrest of several fans for public disorder offences.
