The incident happened on the same day in which Celtic fans celebrated their team lifting the Scottish Premiership trophy.
After Brendan Rodgers’ side were presented with the trophy following a 1-1 draw with St Mirren, thousands of Hoops supporters descended on Glasgow’s Merchant City and Trongate on Saturday for celebrations.
Police Scotland confirmed earlier today that 20 people have now been arrested in relation to disorder caused in the Glasgow Cross and Trongate areas.
Alongside this, 17 people have been charged and four have been reported in connection with offences, including being in possession of pyrotechnics or offensive weapons, assault and public order.

The force confirmed that enquiries remain ongoing.
On Sunday, we reported that a significant amount of alcohol and pyrotechnics were also pro-actively seized by officers before, during and after the match and from people at the gathering.
Videos online showed fights breaking out in the gathering crowds as fans were spotted scaling traffic lights and the famous Mercat Cross, as well as Merchant City signs in the area.
A heated altercation also unfolded in George Square in the city centre on Saturday morning as Hoops fans heading to Celtic Park collided with the Orange Order’s VE Day 80th anniversary parade.
Footage emerged showing objects being thrown between the crowds. A number of cans and bottles were seen flying through the air after being lobbed in the direction of the Celtic fans.
