Football yobs dressed in black have clashed near Hampden this morning ahead of the Old Firm cup final.
Scores of thugs chased each other, throwing objects and shouting abuse as only a handful of police officers tried to bring order to the scene.
Multiple videos of the disgraceful behaviour have been posted on Twitter, and show crowds of what largely appears to be young men, some in balaclavas acting aggressively and shouting abuse.

Scuffles can be seen between rival groups with police trying to force them apart with little support.
The early morning drama comes hours before Rangers and Celtic go head to head in League Cup final at the national stadium.
The Hoops are looking to defend their title as the Light Blues bid to win some bragging rights over their rivals.
Tens of thousands of fans are expected to descend on Hampden for the 3pm kick-off with both clubs boasting long unbeaten runs. Michael Beale is yet to taste defeat as Rangers boss but Ange Postecoglou and Celtic have matched them stride for stride to maintain their own streak without a loss.
But something will have to give in Mount Florida with the first domestic piece of silverware up for grabs at the national stadium.
Police Scotland has been contacted for comment.
