Police say four officers injured and 19 people arrested at Celtic title celebrations

FOUR officers were injured and 19 people arrested during Celtic’s title celebrations in Glasgow at the weekend, according to police.

The injured police officers received medical attention and Superintendent John Menzies said attacks on officers were “completely unacceptable”.

He added that those responsible would be brought to justice.

It comes after Glasgow City Council slammed the “unacceptable” level of disorder on display in the city as Celtic celebrated winning the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Council chiefs said they had to launch a major clean up operation in the wake of the celebrations ahead of a charity run on Sunday morning.

Superintendent Menzies said: “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 escalating.

“Violence and assaults on members of the public or police officers is completely unacceptable and we continue to work to identify those responsible.”
