Humza Yousaf has called on football clubs to take responsibility for fan celebrations after scenes of disorder in Glasgow following Celtic's latest title triumph.
Thousands of supporters of the Parkhead side gathered in and around Glasgow Cross on Saturday with a number of violent incidents taking place.
Police said three people were seriously assaulted and 18 people suffered minor injuries.
Rubbish was also left strewn around the streets after the celebrations.
Similar scenes were witnessed in Glasgow Cross last May after Celtic's previous title win.
It led SNP Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss to say clubs should be billed for clean-up costs.
"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," she told the BBC.
The First Minister was asked about her comments as he visited a school in Edinburgh on Tuesday.
He said: “I think she makes a very valid point, Alison.
“I know that football brings so much joy to people but time and time again we’ve seen that a tiny minority – it’s always a minority regardless of which football club it is – but that minority causing unacceptable disorder.
“So, clubs, I think can do more, should do more. Organise those celebrations, be involved in those celebrations.
“Perhaps they can reflect on what more they can do for future years.”
Glasgow city council said staff worked through the night to clear up the mess from the gathering.
Roads around Glasgow Cross were closed as it took place.
