Police have dispersed crowds in the Trongate area of Glasgow due to “disorder”, after Celtic fans gathered there following their Scottish Premiership title win.
Hundreds of supporters gathered in the area to celebrate their team’s victory against Hearts.
Some fans were seen climbing traffic lights and other objects around the Trongate.
Police wearing riot gear moved in to clear the streets later in the evening, with Police Scotland saying bottles and other missiles had been thrown at officers.
By around 7.30pm, the streets were mostly empty of people though large amounts of rubbish had been left behind.
A statement from Police Scotland said: “Police are dealing with disorder in the Trongate area of Glasgow.
“Officers went in to the crowd to assist with a medical emergency and were faced with significant levels of hostility, with bottles and other missiles thrown at them.
“Police are now taking decisive action to disperse the crowds.
“For public safety reasons, all members of the public are being asked to leave the area.”
The force later said that a number of arrests had been made.
Following the win at Parkhead, the streets were filled with green and white as fans left the stadium.
The victory meant that Celtic won the Scottish Premiership, with Martin O’Neill’s side defeating the Jambos 3-1.
Hearts players had to be escorted off the pitch as thousands of Celtic fans spilled on to the field following the final goal.
The Edinburgh club later released a statement condemning the “shameful” scenes, saying: “Reports of serious physical and verbal abuse towards our players and staff, both on the pitch and elsewhere, are deeply disturbing.
“We are investigating this fully and are in dialogue with Police Scotland.
“We will make no further comment at this time other than to say that it is completely unacceptable that our players and staff were put in that situation.”
The club added: “The pitch invasion caused a chaotic end and nobody seemed to know whether or not the match had been brought to a finish.”
There was a large police presence in the Trongate area and several roads around the Trongate were closed ahead of the celebrations from Celtic supporters.
The force had earlier accused Celtic of failing to put plans in place for official celebrations following the conclusion of the William Hill Premiership.
A senior officer said the policing plans around the potential Celtic celebrations had led to rest days for police being cancelled.
However Glasgow City Council said it did not recognise this description of the club’s approach.
Celtic had urged fans to avoid gathering in the city centre following the game on Saturday, asking supporters to be mindful of the wider community.
