Arrests following Celtic title celebrations in Glasgow

Around 25,000 people gathered in Merchant City, Glasgow on Saturday, 18 May, 2024, to celebrate Celtic winning the Scottish Premiership title.

Working alongside partners, a proportionate policing plan was in place to maintain public safety and minimise disruption to local businesses and communities.

Following the match, crowds gathered in the Glasgow Cross area of the city for a prolonged period of time.

Across the day, there were 19 arrests for various offences and enquiries remain ongoing into a number of incidents.

Four police officers were injured during disorder and received medical treatment.

Superintendent John Menzies said: "I would like to thank our partner agencies and the wider public for their support.

"Unfortunately, we experienced some disorder including the use of pyrotechnics and alcohol-related offences. We took robust action to prevent these escalating.

"Violence and assaults on members of the public or police officers is completely unacceptable and we continue to work to identify those responsible."
