A 31-year-old man is in a serious condition in hospital after thousands of fans descended on Glasgow city centre to celebrate their Premiership title win.
Police have confirmed a 33 and a 19-year-old were also taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after three separate serious assaults during what they describe and "unacceptable" level of disorder and anti-social behaviour.
Ten people were arrested for a number of offences as the area around Glasgow Cross was turned into a sea of green and white by fans with banners and flags, and some letting off flares.
