Fans gathered at Trongate following the match against St Mirren, where they could be seen climbing lamp posts and traffic lights and letting off colour flares. Bus stops and traffic signals have been damaged in the area, which formed part of the route for Cancer Research UK's Race for Life, which took place on Sunday morning.

Across the day, there were 19 arrests for various offences and Police Scotland said inquiries remain ongoing into a number of incidents. Four police officers were injured during the disorder and received medical treatment. Supt John 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." Hospitals in Glasgow had extra staff working in accident and emergency rooms to cope with any surge in casualties.
