Police have arrested a man for carrying an offensive weapon as Republican marches take place in Glasgow .
The 33-year-old was detained earlier on Saturday as
Republican group Cairde Na Heireann marched from from Millroad Street in the Calton at around 2pm to Clyde Street, and the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association set off from Blythswood Square.
Cops have also warned that any criminal behaviour will be "dealt with", with officers lining the streets just over a week after sectarian violence in Govan.
A group of around 400 loyalist supporters turned up at a similar Republican march last Friday and locals locked themselves in their homes and in local pubs as trouble flared between both groups.
A tweet on the Greater Glasgow Police account said: "Significant police presence in Glasgow today for the public processions.
"Officers have already arrested a 33-year-old man for carrying an offensive weapon.
"We want to re-emphasise that anyone intent on becoming involved in any kind of criminal behaviour will be dealt with."
