People can be heard screaming and others running for cover as it explodes in the middle of the crowd of shocked and angry onlookers, reports the Record.

The video has come to light after it emerged three people were seriously assaulted in the city on Saturday during the celebrations.

One man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and remains in a serious condition, with two other males aged 33 and 19 discharged from hospital after being treated by medics.

Police Scotland reported an 'unacceptable level of anti-social behaviour and incidents of disorder'. There were 10 arrests at the gathering for a number of other offences, including assault, acts of public disorder and police assault, but no police officers were injured. A further eight people were issued with fixed penalty notices.

Police added 18 people sustained minor injuries, 'mainly due to intoxication.' A spokesperson said enquiries into all the incidents are ongoing.
