The cost to clean up the mess left behind after Celtic's Scottish Premiership title party is £7,000 higher than initially thought.
Thousands of fans descended on the city centre and Glasgow Cross on May 14 to celebrate after the team won 6-0 over Motherwell. Rubbish was left strewn across the streets and buildings were damaged throughout the day.
It was initially estimated that almost £10,000 was spent on the clean-up and repairs to traffic lights, the Scottish Daily Express reported.

However, figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request detail how Celtic fans cost the city nearly £3,000 more for graffiti removal.
Glasgow City Council has revealed it is still repairing the damage to the historic Mercat Cross building nearly four months on. Another £4,000 has been spent on Mercat building repairs after it was broken into by fans who got onto the roof and left the landmark with shattered windows and covered in litter.
It means the new bill relating to the Parkhead side's title celebrations stands at around £17,000
Glasgow City Council said: "In our response dated August 11, we advised that the council paid £938 to an external contractor for repairs to traffic lights and incurred internal staff costs of £8,131.50 for the clean-up.
"We have located some additional information. I can advise you that graffiti removal cost the council an additional £2,871.12.
"The Mercat Building is owned by Glasgow City Council and I can confirm that there was a total repair cost of £4022. This figure was broken down as follows: Window repairs £791 (in progress) door repairs £500 (completed) clean/sanitise £1,920 (completed) temp roof repairs £811 (in progress). "
