Damaged traffic lights at Glasgow Cross have been fixed following the Celtic fan title party celebrations.
Around 25,000 supporters gathered in the Merchant City on Saturday to celebrate the club's third successive Scottish Premiership league win.
Despite the scenes of jubilation, Glasgow City Council slammed the gathering for anti-social behaviour and said they had caused 'unacceptable' damage to the area including traffic signals.

Fans were seen scaling the traffic lights as well as bus stop roofs during the celebrations.
The local authority confirmed on Monday that the lights have been repaired and are working normally.
A spokesperson for the roads department said: "The traffic signals on Glasgow Cross are now repaired and operating normally. Lane closures are currently in place on the junction as works complete and they will be removed shortly."
A council spokesperson previously condemned the behaviour, saying: “As crowds began to disperse last night, they left a substantial amount of litter, debris and broken glass in a wide area around Glasgow Cross.
“After an exceptional clean-up effort by our teams overnight, the area is now clear – including the course for the Cancer Research UK Race for Life, which is taking place this morning.
“There has been damage to infrastructure such as bus stops and traffic signals, but we do not yet know the full extent of what repairs will be necessary.
“This kind of damage, disruption and antisocial behaviour remains unacceptable. It should be possible to celebrate and show a basic level of consideration for others in the city at the same time.”

We also told that 19 arrests were made for various offences, including the use of pyrotechnics and alcohol disorder and four cops required medical attention.
Superintendent John Menzies added: "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 from escalating.
"Violence and assaults on members of the public or police officers is completely unacceptable and we continue to work to identify those responsible."
