New footage has emerged showing thousands of Celtic fans marching from Glasgow Green to Hampden before police issued a statement.
Hoops supporters gathered pre-match in the Glasgow sunshine as they partied ahead of the Scottish Cup Final against Inverness, with Ange Postecoglou and his troops looking to secure a historic Treble at the national stadium.
The good spirits continued as supporters rallied their way to Mount Florida, with bird's-eye view footage shot by PixByPedro showing thousands waving flares and flags as they marched in full voice ahead of the end of season finale.

Police Scotland issued a statement after taking action under section 12 of the Public Order Act against the procession due to concerns of public safety.
Officers have the powers to use the legislation when they believe actions need to be imposed in order to ensure the safety of the wider public.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Police Scotland has imposed conditions under Section 12 of the Public Order Act 1986 on a procession, from Glasgow Green to Hampden Park, Glasgow today (Saturday, 3 June, 2023), on the grounds of public safety and to minimise disruption.
"Our priority is always public safety and this decision was taken after careful consideration of the potential impact on the local community."
It comes after thousands of Hoops fans lined the streets of Glasgow green and white today ahead of today's match - organised by the Green Brigade.
However, the sunny celebrations now continue as Celtic scoop a world record breaking eighth Treble after a 3-1 victory against Billy Dodds' Scottish Championship outfit.
