It adds: "Glasgow City Council led a number of meetings with both Old Firm clubs with Police Scotland in attendance. "Despite constructive engagement and commitment from Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council over many months, Celtic FC did not identify or commit to any viable alternative." The briefing continues that "a Celtic victory will result in a mass gathering in the Merchant City and Trongate area of Glasgow". "As outlined above there is no such agreement in place at Glasgow where no agreement has been reached between Glasgow City Council and Celtic Football Club." Following this year's gathering, Glasgow City Council said it was sceptical that fans would go to an event organised by the authority.
