Susan Aitken has said it is “depressing" that grown adults are unable to celebrate their team’s success with "respect".
The Glasgow City Council leader took to social media to share her thanks for clean-up crews after yesterday's Celtic celebrations.
We reported how 25,000 fans swarmed Trongate to mark the club's Scottish Premiership title win.
Fans were pictured climbing on traffic lights, bus stops and structures, while flares were set off and the street was littered with rubbish.
Meanwhile 19 people were arrested and four cops were injured as Police Scotland said they had an "appropriate plan to maintain public safety and minimise disruption to local businesses and communities".
Susan Aitken posted on Twitter/X saying: “Thanks to @GlasgowCC cleansing teams for their overnight clean-up.
“But it’s depressing and unacceptable that yet again a significant number of grown adults are unable to celebrate their team’s success while also respecting fellow citizens and public property.”
Council officials commended the "exceptional clean-up effort" which took place overnight.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “As crowds began to disperse last night, they left a substantial amount of litter, debris and broken glass in a wide area around Glasgow Cross.
“After an exceptional clean-up effort by our teams overnight, the area is now clear – including the course for the Cancer Research UK Race for Life, which is taking place this morning.
“There has been damage to infrastructure such as bus stops and traffic signals, but we do not yet know the full extent of what repairs will be necessary.
“This kind of damage, disruption and antisocial behaviour remains unacceptable. It should be possible to celebrate and show a basic level of consideration for others in the city at the same time.”
Superintendent John Menzies added: "I would like to thank our partner agencies and the wider public for their support.
"Unfortunately, we experienced some disorder including the use of pyrotechnics and alcohol-related offences. We took robust action to prevent these from escalating.
"Violence and assaults on members of the public or police officers is completely unacceptable and we continue to work to identify those responsible."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
