Celtic fans plan Glasgow 'title party celebrations' as cops prepare for 'banners, booze and pyro'

Celtic fans have made plans for a title party in Glasgow this weekend, promising "banners, booze and pyro".

Hoops diehards are expected to descend on the city centre at 4pm on Saturday, after the final match of the Premiership season against Motherwell at Parkhead earlier in the afternoon.

The table-toppers will be confirmed as champions as long as they avoid defeat against Dundee United at Tannadice on Wednesday night.

Police Scotland are preparing for raucous celebrations and have an "appropriate policing plan" in place for the event.

Nearly 5,000 people have so far responded to a Facebook event encouraging fans to gather in the Merchant City.

The celebrations will kick off at 4pm, following the conclusion of the 12.15pm clash at Celtic Park.

Those attending the event were urged to bring "lots of flags, banners, booze, fireworks and pyro" on the online event which also wants attendees to "make lots of colour and noise".

The full post on the group said: "After the Motherwell game gather in the Merchant city to celebrate us winning yet another League title and big Ange's first title.

"Bring lots of flags banners booze fireworks pyro and make lots of colour and noise Hail Hail."

Police Scotland are aware of the planned event and have put a policing plan in place.

A spokesperson for the force said: "Police Scotland is aware of the potential gathering and an appropriate policing plan is in place."
