The offences include setting off fireworks, rowdy behaviour, insulting police officers and “selling things illegally”.

The nationality of those detained is largely unknown but it has been reported that one Scottish fan was arrested for public intoxication.

Police said that before, during and immediately after the 2-2 Europa League draw that it was a "manageable evening".

A police spokesman said: "I can confirm a total of 42 arrests. Overall at was a manageable evening."

Steven Gerrard's side earned a point thanks to a stunning double from Alfredo Morelos.

But his side will have to wait another two weeks to seal their place in the knockout stages after Porto's late win over Young Boys.

The Light Blues need just a point from their final game to secure European football after Christmas.

Boss Gerrard hailed deadly Morelos after the match and defended his £50million valuation of the Colombian striker.

We told how around 10,000 Gers fans were set to make the trip over to Holland despite only 3,000 having match tickets.

Travelling supporters gathered in Dam Square, Amsterdam, before making the trip to the stadium – around an hour away.

One video emerged last night of a violent clash which spilled onto the street from a bar in the area.
