Chief Superintendent Rhona Fraser said: "Our priority is public safety and we had an appropriate policing plan in place for last night’s demonstration.
"We understand the concerns people have about their communities and will always balance the right to freedom of expression with the need to tackle crime without fear or favour.
"Officers were attacked and police vehicles were damaged.
"I strongly condemn that violence and there is no place for it in Scotland.
"Officers continue to be in local areas and are engaged with communities to show support and listen to concerns."
Police confirmed that during the protest, items were thrown at officers, and two men were arrested and issued fixed penalty notices for alleged anti-social behaviour offences.
