Hearts will stage an open-top bus parade through Edinburgh on Sunday if they win, while Celtic has no organised celebration plan, something which has drawn criticism from Police Scotland because of concern about possible disorder.
Assistant Chief Constable Alan Waddell said the force had a comprehensive policing plan in place that would focus on “minimising disruption to local communities” and avoiding “widespread disorder”.
Waddell said officers had been keen to explore options and encourage the clubs to establish an organised event or fanzone to allow supporters to “celebrate safely and reduce the impact on the local community”.
He added: “Despite these welcome efforts, Celtic Football Club has again failed to bring forward any plan or take any responsibility for the wider conduct and safety of supporters outwith the stadium.
“Should Celtic win the title on Saturday, we have again had to plan for thousands of supporters gathering in the Trongate area of the city as in previous years.”
As precautionary measures – including the removal of glass from bus stop shelters – were taken on Friday, the club urged supporters to avoid mass gatherings which have a “high impact” on the city.
