Two men from Chorley and Leyland have pleaded guilty in connection with the violence surrounding last year's UEFA Cup final in Manchester.
David Annette, 35, from Yarrow Road, Chorley, and Michael Hindle, 21, from Westmorland Close, Leyland, were among nine men who pleaded guilty to violent disorder following Rangers' defeat in May, 2008.
The case revolves around the disorder following Zenit St Petersburg's victory at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Around 150,000 football fans were in the city for the game.
The defendants, most of whom are from Scotland, pleaded guilty at a hearing at Manchester Crown Court on Friday, November 20.
Three other men from Scotland are awaiting trial for related offences after pleading not guilty.
Sentencing of all defendants will take place after the second trials.
