I remember them Celtic fans smashing Manchester to pieces...... 

 

I'm just saying what I witnessed over a number of years at at Tyncastle, what happened in Manchester has been well publicised & I would say that Rangers do, generally have a far worse reputation.

I was in town and it was just another normal day. There was atmosphere at all.

 

It’s all a bit pointless and hollow. You’d be embarrassed celebrating at this point.

 

Scottish football is a shambles and should be set of fire and thrown in the bin. Nothing but a vehicle for hatred.

 

Football is a vehicle for hatred all over the World, might as well shut the whole thing down in that case.

 

Man City winning the league every season in England is no different either. Pointless, hollow & they can barely be arsed with celebrating.

City haven't quite got there yet,but it's on the cards. 

Got to say that it's sad to see Glaswegians fighting over shit that scousers saw was just another vehicle to divide them many decades ago.

That photo is taken from where the P is on the left in this image, ie, in the club car park itself. Not exactly like driving down Goodison Road.

Larry Dean has got a good line about porn.  He says he prefers amateur porn because it's good for the self-esteem: he watches it thinking "I could do that."

He took a big risk. Hope it doesn't pay off but I suspect it might.

Three people were seriously assaulted as thousands of Celtic fans celebrated lifting the Scottish Premiership trophy.

Supporters gathered at Glasgow Cross in the city centre on Saturday afternoon.

 

Police said a 31-year-old man was in a serious condition at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after being attacked. 

 

Two other men, aged 33 and 19, were taken to hospital after being assaulted in separate incidents.

 

They have since been discharged.

Police Scotland said officers were forced to intervene to prevent situations from escalating.

 

Ten people were arrested for a number of offences including assault, acts of public disorder and police assault.

 

Another eight people were issued with fixed penalty notices.

 

Police confirmed that 18 people sustained minor injuries mainly due to intoxication, and no officers were injured.

Inquiries into all reported incidents are ongoing.

 

Supt Gerry Corrigan said: "Working with partners, a proportionate policing plan was in place which facilitated the gathering, prioritised public safety and sought to minimise disruption to businesses and communities.

"Throughout the day, there was an unacceptable level of anti-social behaviour and incidents of disorder. 

 

"Police officers took swift and robust action to prevent these escalating."

Street strewn with litter

The disorder came after the Parkhead side won 5-0 against Aberdeen.

 

A major clean-up operation was completed on Sunday after the celebrations left rubbish throughout the Glasgow city centre.

 

Plastic bags, bottles and cans were littered on the streets after the crowds cleared.

 

The council worked with police leading up to the match and refuse staff have since collected the debris.

 

Celtic had already sealed their fate as champions before the match with Aberdeen kicked off at 12:30.

 

The league was settled with a victory at Tynecastle at the start of May.

 

Concerns were raised following Celtic's win last year, when police also described described the level of anti-social behaviour and littering as "unacceptable"..

 

The post-match celebrations in 2022 featured flares and smoke bombs, however officers said there were no serious incidents or disorder.

 

Glasgow City Council has been approached for comment.

Football clubs should organise their own fan celebrations, an MP has said, after mass disruption around Celtic's Premiership trophy day.

Thousands of fans gathered in Glasgow city centre on Saturday leaving streets strewn with rubbish.

 

Three people were attacked and ten arrested amid "unacceptable" levels of anti-social behaviour, police said.

 

Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss condemned the "disruption" and "mess" caused on social media.

 

She said football clubs should be billed for the clean-up costs.

 

The SNP MP told the BBC: "My preference would be for the clubs to organise things, so that there was safety for fans and residents and responsibility for ensuring everyone is looked after."

 

Footage taken by a resident near Glasgow Cross shows the litter-strewn aftermath of the celebrations, which council staff had to clean through the night.

The council said it was concerned about the risk to public safety associated with the gathering.

 

Last minute road closures had also taken place while traffic signals had been damaged.

One man who was attacked was in serious condition in hospital over the weekend. There have been no updates on his condition.

 

Celtic FC did not endorse the gathering but has not yet commented.

 

The council said it was too early to comment on clean-up costs.

 

On Sunday a spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "Staff worked through the night to deal with the build-up of waste and a continued effort was required on Sunday morning to restore the area to a good condition.

 

"Roads closed at short notice for safety reasons were reopened on Sunday morning and traffic signals damaged during the gathering were also repaired."But the gathering clearly caused disruption to residents, local businesses and the roads network. 

"We are also concerned about the anti-social behaviour and risk to public safety associated with the gathering. We will be engaging with our partners in Saturday's operation on how the issues that arose during the gathering can be addressed in future."

• Three serious assaults amid Celtic fan celebration

Fans gathered to celebrate after Celtic lifted the SPFL trophy at Celtic Park, following a 5-0 win against Aberdeen.

 

The club had already sealed their fate as champions before the match with Aberdeen kicked off at 12:30.

 

The league was settled with a victory at Tynecastle at the start of May.

 

Robert Robinson, the store manager of Guitar Guitar in the cities' Trongate, he said he witnessed "chaotic" scenes outside the shop.

He told BBC Scotland: "It's quite worrying more from the security aspect, customers trying to make their way into the store. We had some people who had travelled from outside the city, not aware that was going on that were then unable to gain access to the property.

 

"Getting staff home safely is obviously a really big priority for ourselves, we don't want anybody getting injured or caught up in anything. The damage and the mess outside, that can be cleaned but if somebody got hurt that would be terrible.

 

"I think people celebrating something is fine but it shouldn't impact anyone else."

 

He said he would welcome an organised event with security in future.

 

"Unacceptable"

Supt Gerry Corrigan from Police Scotland called the levels of anti-social behaviour and incidents of disorder "unacceptable".

Ten people were arrested for a number of offences including assault, acts of public disorder and police assault and another eight people were issued with fixed penalty notices.

 

Police confirmed that 18 people sustained minor injuries mainly due to intoxication.

Shocking

Animals. Probably the same cowards who tried to rush the Liverpool end at ibrox earlier in the season after we pumped them 7:1.
