Three police officers have been injured after disorder broke out at George Square as Rangers supporters celebrated their title win.
Officers had 'missiles and flares' thrown at them as they were attempting to disperse crowds and tackling anti-social behaviour throughout the day.
More than 20 people have been arrested as a result of the disorder which has been described as 'disgraceful' and a danger to the public.
Officers dressed in full public order equipment moved in to tackle the crowds which became 'increasingly disorderly' as celebrations went on resulting in property being damaged and people being assaulted.
Police Scotland has condemned the behaviour which they have said placed officers at risk and damaged Glasgow's reputation as a 'great city' at a critical point in the pandemic.
Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland has warned that more arrests are expected as enquiries into the disorder continue with anyone involved in the 'ugly scenes' facing being identified and arrested.
In a statement published after the event, he said: "During the evening of Saturday, 15 May 2021, Rangers supporters continued to gather and celebrate the awarding of the league championship trophy in George Square.
"Throughout the day Police Scotland had managed the gathering appropriately tackling anti-social behaviour and encouraging dispersal under Scottish Government Coronavirus regulations.
"As celebrations continued sections of the crowd became increasingly disorderly, property was damaged and people were assaulted. Our officers became the focus of the crowd's attention with missiles and flares being thrown at them. Our policing response has been proportionate. We have responded appropriately and consistently to the behaviour of those gathered.
"This disgraceful behaviour which clearly endangered public and officer safety could not be tolerated and officers dressed in full public order equipment and, after appropriate warnings were given, moved in to disperse those present. Although most of those present dispersed, a number remained and confronted officers with violence and aggression. Missiles were thrown and officers came under direct attack as George Square and the surrounding area was cleared.

"So far we know that three officers have been injured and more than 20 people have been arrested.
"We will be continuing our enquiries and my message is clear that if you have been involved in these ugly scenes then we you will be identified and arrested."
