“The victim in this case was subjected to mindless sectarian thuggery by the three accused, who were visitors to the city.
“It should be understood that anyone who involves themselves in football-related disorder can expect to be held accountable by COPFS, Police Scotland and the courts using every tool available to us.”
Police Scotland Superintendent Derrick Johnston said: “This was a brutal attack and I am in no doubt that this will affect the victim for the rest of his life.
“The assault was witnessed by a number of members of public and captured on mobile phone footage at the time.
“Everyone has the right to attend a sporting event with their family and friends without having to witness this disgraceful and shameful behaviour and should be able to go home unharmed.
“We will not tolerate football-related violence and will ensure that those responsible are held to account.”
