OUTRAGED Glaswegians have hit out at firework displays seen across the city after Rangers won the Scottish Premiership yesterday.
Locals have been voicing their fury on social media, with some calling on the Scottish Government to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public.
After the disgraceful scenes in #Glasgow over the weekend, who agrees that we should #ban #fireworks for sale to the general public in #Scotland?

I hope the #SNP is going to act on this now. This is pure torture to all of us with #dogs or other pets.
