A GLASGOW MSP has hit out after his office sign was “ripped off and urinated on” after thousands of football fans gathered at Hampden Park for the Scottish League Cup last night.  

Glasgow Cathcart MSP James Dornan said his office sign was vandalised after the Rangers v Hibernian game at Hampden Park in the city's Southside. 

The MSP said a member of his staff found the sign ripped down from the building in Mount Florida. 

It comes as several residents in the neighbourhood complained about anti-social behaviour following football matches over the weekend. Celtic also faced St Johnstone on Saturday.

James Dornan said: “My office sign was ripped down from the church fence and urinated on.

“‘Anti-social behaviour in the areas surrounding Hampden at big games is not a new thing. 

“A member of my family used to have to chase fans from his close and garden when he stayed there. 

“However I have had a number of people contact me saying it seemed particularly bad yesterday.

“The police have an extremely difficult job at these events but if they can’t arrest people at the time, for public order reasons or whatever, then surely they could have people filming the crowds as they approach, or leave the area and then ask the public for help identifying them. 

“This may feel like a low-level offence but I can assure you that for the people who have to live through it it is anything but."

Residents in the Mount Florida and King's Park areas around the stadium also complained of anti-social behaviour.

They claim streets were used as "public urinals" and littering was an issue. Sectarian chanting could also be heard while many locals faced parking problems.

Resident Claire Johnston told Glasgow Times: “We came home from taking our dog to the park at around three o’clock yesterday and there were eleven men peeing across from our house and round the corner slightly. 

“We couldn’t park at our house as there was football parking, even though it’s not allowed during events.

“From then on it was a constant stream of men urinating in the street. 

“I would have intervened, but when I’ve said anything in the past I’ve received abuse. 

“I did bang my window at a ‘fan’ who was going to pee in my garden, in response I got rudely gesticulated at.

“There was a lot of sectarian chanting.  

“Also Hampden is meant to clear up the rubbish, but it’s not thorough and there’s always broken glass, empty alcohol bottles, food and other debris. 

“Today is no exception, this means that I can’t walk my dog locally. 

“I feel angry, upset and impotent as there is nothing that I can do to stop it. It’s also very intimidating.

“Residents should not have to experience this, someone in the area even got spat on and threatened for challenging their behaviour.”

Another resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “We see a big amount of public urination often at closes doors and in people’s gardens.

“Sometimes football fans will even try to gain entry to the closes and people park in the streets despite there being permit requirements.

“We have also a huge amount of rubbish left lying, empty bottles from groups gathering drinking. 

“It’s not always just the football, gigs are as bad but this weekend was poor in general from lack of any parking enforcement or police patrol.”

Police Scotland and the Scottish Football Association have been contacted for comment.
