Thousands of Celtic fans descend on Glasgow Cross to celebrate title win

Motorists are being urged to avoid part of the city centre as Celtic supporters gather to celebrate their Scottish Premiership win.

Thousands of fans are currently gathering at Glasgow Cross, George Square and Merchant City following an earlier match at Parkhead which saw the team beat Motherwell 6-0.

The celebrations are expected to go on into the evening as fans continue to make their way into the city following the final whistle at Parkhead.

Many can be seen holding flags and banners and setting off flares.

Police Scotland has already said that traffic is 'very busy' around the George Square area and has urged anyone travelling to use alternative routes if possible.

Dozens of officers are currently at the scene to minimise the impact on the wider public.

The Merchant City area is also extremely busy with supporters.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou earlier thanked the fans for their support and encouraged them to 'enjoy' today's celebrations

Postecoglou said: "Unbelievable afternoon, unbelievable season - what an unbelievable support we've had.

"Thank you everyone. Enjoy today, enjoy the summer and as I said, we'll be back better than ever. We never stop."

Further support came from rapper Snoop Dogg who retweeted a message the club sent to him with his congratulations.

Just last month, the US rapper said “the passport is out of the safe” and he would be up for an epic players’ party if Celtic were crowned Scottish champions.
