Whilst i'm not shooting the messenger  I find this very hard to believe .

If any arrests were made retrospectively I'm pretty sure  they would be given airtime in the media as was the case with the incident during the Dundee v Saints game .

Dr Niall Hamilton-Smith, of Stirling University, said: “There was a feeling among fans that policing at football matches was increasingly being done by cameras and not by the police.”

Police Scotland first began to use such surveillance methods to enforce the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012. The Act was repealed in 2018, but Police Scotland officers continue to make extensive use of filming devices at football matches.

Always has seemed the case that clubs like Celtic and Rangers get away with murder when they visit other grounds.

These are just a couple of examples that I found, I suppose if you are inclined and looked into this further you would have a better idea whether it works or not. I'm only going by second hand information.

I detest the fact that clubs like Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen can go to other grounds and stand, but as soon as the home fans do it, they are frogmarched out of the ground. It's the double standards and hypocrisy which gets me.

I was told last week that the police also have "spotters" in the stands.
