A number of streets in the area were closed for the event, with a heavy police presence throughout the day and into the night.

Police Scotland Superintendent Gerry Corrigan previously said: “Thousands of Celtic supporters gathered in the area of Glasgow Cross for several hours to celebrate their team’s achievement.

"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.

“Three people were seriously assaulted in three separate incidents during the event. A 31-year-old man remains in a serious condition within Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after being attacked. Two other men, aged 33 and 19, were treated at hospital after being assaulted and have since been discharged.

“There were 10 arrests for a number of other offences including assault, acts of public disorder and police assault following the event. No police officers were injured

“A further eight people were issued with fixed penalty notice

“Eighteen people sustained minor injuries, mainly due to intoxication.

“Enquiries into all reported incidents are ongoing.”
