  1. Does seem a bit excessive, especially for a team that basically wins every year.

  2. Considering how bad rubbish around Glasgow has been in recent months – can anyone really tell the difference?

  3. Doesn’t matter what side wins, everyone loses when behaviour like this happens.

    Aye, celebrate a win, ye deserve it. But does it have to be in the street? Do ye have to dump yer shite at yer arse for someone else to clear up? Is it worth businesses having to close as their customers can’t get in?

    If yes want to celebrate in the street and dump cans n bottles all over the place, do it on yer own street. What’s that? Ye don’t want your place so end up a shitehole? We’ll gonnae no saw it in the middle of theory either thanks

  4. > Hospitals in Glasgow had extra staff working in accident and emergency rooms to cope with any surge in casualties.

    So did they have a surge in casualties or did they do what any sensible service does have them in place for the worst case scenarios

    Why don’t the council give people a fanzone to use?

    It’s very common elsewhere in Europe

  5. But some football fans on here will argue that it’s only some litter and it’s a “once a year” thing which is BS. They literally don’t give a toss

  6. The obvious solution is to give them a designated space to celebrate 

    The council knows there is going to be a celebration there is a similar celebration every year here and there is a similar celebration in every city across Europe when their team wins.

    Since the council knows it’s going to occur why don’t they be proactive, give a designated space for it rather than them just taking over trongate every year 

  7. “Unnaceptable” – So the same as last year, what difference did it make? Wonder what big changes will be made?? Hmmm

  8. It’s bonkers when the same two teams win every single year in a Mickey Mouse league.

  9. Someone else said it happens there due to the proximity of Celtic bars in the area. Even if they tried to set one up elsewhere – it would likely still happen here.

    Maybe they should put in extra infrastructure such as bins and make the Trongate the fanzone. That also means protection/ barriers to stop things getting damaged and destroyed. The clubs could even chip in.

  10. Here’s an idea. Make Celtic pay for the additional staffing wherever it is and also the cleanup.

    Then when it comes to the summer transfer window the club can point their finger at their daft fans and tell them ‘yous dafties are why we can’t afford a striker’.

  11. Once again Glasgow City Council fail to provide extra large litter bins, skips, etc. when they know around 25 thousand fans are about to have a title winning party in the area, they fail to learn every year.

  12. Hopefully it’s run its course, first year was good but last year had the feel of T in the Park at Strathalan when the bams properly took over.

    Statement from the council is a bit rich though. They knew this was happening and would rather pay for the clean up bill than properly set up a fan zone which should be the norm.

  13. The police should be retrospectively dealing with the arse holes causing any damage.

    Litter on the other hand, it looks like was easily swept up, no big deal.

    I’ve seen people who have come here from the other side of the planet with no idea what is going on uploading videos to YouTube and they all looked like they were loving it.

    It’s a small minority that takes things too far and that’s why the police are there for.
