Three people were attacked and ten were arrested for anti-social behaviour.

Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss condemned the disruption and suggested that football clubs should organize their own fan celebrations to prevent such incidents.

The council had to clean up the streets and repair damaged traffic signals.

The spokesman for Glasgow City Council said that they were concerned about the risk to public safety and the anti-social behaviour associated with the gathering.

Police Scotland called the levels of disorder and incidents of disorder "unacceptable" and ten people were arrested.

The article describes two separate occasions of celebrations by football fans in Scotland.

In 2020, when Celtic won a trophy, fans used flares and smoke bombs, which were deemed "unacceptable" by Police Scotland.

In 2021, when Rangers won the league, fans gathered in George Square, leading to over 50 arrests.

It is not clear from the information provided if there were any specific incidents that led to the arrests.
