Images show the aftermath of an unofficial title party by Celtic fans yesterday.

Following the Hoops lifting the Scottish Premiership trophy at Celtic Park, thousands of supporters gathered to celebrate at Trongate.

As fans slowly dispersed and police closed in around 8pm, the Glasgow Times took exclusive pictures of the scene.

Strewn across the road, pavements and street furniture, a sea of rubbish was pictured, including broken glass, cans, plastic bags, discarded vapes and flares.

Bins were overfilled, liquids were spilled and stickers were plastered all over the surroundings.

In the late hours of the day, council employees and volunteers cleaned up the area, getting it ready for the Race of Life, a charity running event cutting through Merchant City this morning.

From the early afternoon, a large crowd took over the Merchant City area, dressed in green-and-white.

Participants sang songs, waved flags and drank in celebration.

We previously reported that a similar unofficial event by Celtic fans last year cost the council £100,000 in cleanup fees, including repairs to the historic Mercat Cross.
