The vandalism also included the use of a sectarian abbreviation standing for F*** the Pope.
Red, white and blue stripes have also been painted across the city and wider area.
The kerbs of Shettleston Road were also marked with red, white and blue paint.
Fans have been warned that officers are on standby at Celtic Park, George Square and Ibrox Stadium to prevent repeats of celebrations seen two weeks ago.
Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins told the BBC: "If you come out to Celtic Park, George Square, Ibrox Stadium or anywhere else in Glasgow on Sunday, be prepared to be engaged by my officers.
"We will encourage you to leave and if you don't heed that warning then potentially you are opening yourself up to being arrested."
Glasgow City Council has been contacted for comment about the graffiti.
