Old Firm fans have been urged to celebrate like Celtic’s women’s team supporters if their side wins the Scottish Cup on Saturday.

Glasgow Greens sports spokesperson, Cllr Holly Bruce, said 10,000 supporters had celebrated Celtic’s success in the Scottish Women’s Premier League “without disruption” and are a good example to follow.

Her comments come as calls for fan zones have intensified after thousands of people gathered around Trongate following Celtic’s men’s team’s Scottish Premiership victory.

After those celebrations, Glasgow City Council condemned “unacceptable” disruption, reporting a “substantial” amount of litter and debris after crowds dispersed as well as damage to bus stops and traffic signals.

Labour MSP Paul Sweeney suggested events should be arranged to accommodate fans celebrating their team’s success and the city’s Labour group leader, Cllr George Redmond, said organised zones could offer “a safe and positive environment”.

Cllr Bruce said: “It is disappointing that what should be jubilant-but-orderly celebrations of Glasgow teams’ sporting success have once again ended up causing damage and disruption to the city.

“Organised fan zones may be part of the solution, but this would need to be led by the clubs themselves, both in terms of picking up the bill, but more importantly taking on clear accountability and legal liability.

“Whatever happens at Hampden Park this weekend, it is important that supporters are respectful to the local communities and are able to celebrate or commiserate well.

“The example set by 10,000 supporters of Celtic Women’s team which celebrated its own league title last weekend without disruption is a good one to follow.”

Ahead of Saturday, the council is reiterating its message from last week which urged fans to “celebrate safely, responsibly and with consideration for others”.

A council spokesman added: “Unofficial celebration events by fans of both Celtic and Rangers have caused significant problems in and around the city centre in recent years.

“The council continues to believe that one way to reduce the negative impact of these events would be for clubs to offer supporters more opportunities to celebrate safely. The council, for its part, has always committed to looking at how it can support and facilitate any proposals.”

He said officials had “positive discussions” with both clubs over organised celebrations late last year and meetings also took place earlier this year.

“While this has not yet led to any proposals from the clubs, we have continued to engage regularly and positively with them both over recent months and right up to Friday afternoon,” he said.

“With a cup final taking place this weekend, we’ll continue to engage with clubs about how supporters can have appropriate opportunities to celebrate and how the city can facilitate any plans that are brought forward.”
