Slovan Bratislava fans appear to have clashed with Celtic supporters and police en route to Parkhead tonight.
Fans of the Slovakian team were marched from Glasgow city centre to the stadium in the east end by a hefty police presence.
On their way, it appears that a handful of fans were involved in an altercation with Hoops supporters in the beer garden of a pub, as officers desperately tried to stop any trouble and defuse tensions.
Footage widely shared on social media appears to show some of the travelling support breaking free from the police barrier outside McChuills on Saltmarket High Street.
A Union Jack flag could be seen in the crowd of hundreds of Slovan fans.

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
