FURIOUS residents living near Celtic Park have hit out at the Parkhead club after an evacuation alarm blared in the early hours of the morning.

The bleary-eyed locals claim the noise from the alarm system woke them up at 6 am on Sunday.

They say the noise lasted for up to an hour and was heard by those living in Dennistoun, Calton, Dalmarnock, Bridgeton and even Cambuslang and Rutherglen.

Glen Sutherland, from Dalmarnock, was woken by the noise which he believed was a safety test.  

He said:  “I had no idea what it was at first but we asked around and it’s a pretty common occurrence in the area. It’s loud enough to wake the dead. I’m sure the whole of Dalmarnock heard it. I’m getting pretty sick of it.”

Dennistoun resident Pauline Thomson filmed a video of the alarm going off. She said: “6.30am is outrageous. What makes them think they aren’t disturbing people? My son works in the Tennents Brewery and we were panicking in case it was coming from there. How very dare they!”

In the video seen by the Glasgow Times, three short blasts can be heard, followed by a voice asking people to evacuate the stadium.

Other outraged locals claim that the alarms have been going off for years. 

It is unclear whether or not the alarm was a test or if it was triggered, however Scottish Fire and Rescue have confirmed that crews attended the scene on Sunday morning.

A spokeswoman said: “We were alerted at 6.04am on Sunday, February 14 to reports of a fire alarm activation at a football stadium on Kerrydale Street, Glasgow.

“Operations Control mobilised one appliance to the scene, but it was a false alarm.”

Local MSP John Mason has urged constituents who have concerns about the noise to get in touch with him.

He said: “Alarms going off during the night, whether car alarms, house alarms, or from a site like Celtic Park are incredibly disturbing and annoying. In a situation like this, my normal first step would be to raise the issue with those causing the problem – Celtic in this case.

"I have always found them open to interacting on issues affecting the local neighbourhood. If any constituent wants to contact me about this, I would ask for a list of times and dates when alarms have gone off, and then I would be more than happy to take it up with the club.”

Calton Councillor Robert Connelly has also reassured constituents he is looking into the issue.

He said:“You can often to see lights on in the stadium in the evening, including non-match days, although I have never noticed them on very late.

"It is worrying to hear about alarms going off at anti-social times and I will look into this issue."

The Glasgow Times approached the club for comment via phonecall and e-mail but received no response.
