Paul Sweeney has called for fan zones to be established to minimise disruption with the Scottish Labour MSP meeting with Celtic directors about “formalising events” to discourage street gatherings.

A Glasgow MSP has called for organised fan zones after four police officers were injured during Celtic's title celebrations.

Fans were pictured scaling the Mercat Cross building, as well as bus stops and traffic lights which were left in a state of disrepair. Mounds of litter were also left strewn across the streets, with piles of empty booze cans, bags, other rubbish, and broken glass covering much of the area around Glasgow Cross.

Speaking to BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland he said that he believes Glasgow Green could host the events which could feature a stage with team appearances, live music, toilets and bars similar to other major championships such as the cycling events in 2023.
