Glasgow City Council warn Celtic supporters against trophy day gathering

Glasgow City Council have warned Celtic supporters against gathering at the Trongate this weekend. 

Fans of the Parkhead club have flocked to the area to celebrate Scottish Premiership success over the past few seasons. 

The tradition started in 2022, and it has happened every year since. Indeed, the Ultras group, the Green Brigade, put a post on X regarding a 'Trongate title party' earlier in the week.

Now, however, Glasgow City Council have looked to put the burners on any potential gathering. 

They released a statement on Thursday morning. It read: "We want supporters of every team in Glasgow to be able to celebrate their successes but ask fans – including those visiting the city – to please avoid disruptive mass gatherings at Merchant City / Trongate and other public places.

"These events and others like them have consistently led to disorder – causing significant disruption for the local community and businesses.

"Damage to buildings and infrastructure robs the public purse of hundreds of thousands of pounds that would otherwise be spent on the essential services we all rely on.

"Enjoy trophy day, but respect the city and your neighbours. Do not attend unsafe and disruptive gatherings in public places like Merchant City / Trongate."

Celtic face St Mirren at Parkhead on Saturday at 12.30pm. They will be presented with the league title after the match.
