There are calls to create a specific area in Glasgow for fans to celebrate the Scottish Premiership title wins to stop anti-social behaviour spilling into other parts of the city.

Thousands of Celtic fans gathered at the Trongate on Saturday afternoon and businesses had to close their doors because fights were breaking out.

Robert Robinson is the manager of Guitar Guitar and told {{stationName}: "There were fireworks going off, bottles being smashed and people urinating against the walls.

"We had to close our doors and let some customers out the back door just in the interest of safety for them."





Robert added: "We do not mind people celebrating and having a good time, but we should not have to put up with a loss of business.

"I think there needs to be something organised in Glasgow Green and it should be ticketed with some pop-up bars.

"There should be some toilet facilities to let everybody get together in a safe environment."
