Breathtaking drone footage has revealed the true scale of the Celtic title party in Glasgow.
Thousands of jubilant supporters descended on Trongate in the city centre after Brendan Rodgers' side lifted the Scottish Premiership title trophy.
Yesterday, we revealed supporters scaled buildings, traffic lights and bus stops during the packed unofficial title party.

Now, drone footage has been shared online showing the incredible scale of the celebrations with streets closed due to rammed streets in the Merchant City.
A video posted on TikTok, by MD.DRONE, captured footage from under the railway bridge along the packed Trongate road and pavements.
The short video showed green and orange smokebombs being set off and supporters waving Celtic flags in the celebrations which extended to Chisholm Street.
Fireworks could also be heard being set off in the flowing drone footage as supporters celebrated the title success in the baking heat.

Despite the joyous scenes as supporters packed the streets, Glasgow City Council condemned the "damage, disruption and antisocial behaviour" during the celebrations.
A spokesperson 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.”
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!
