Fans spent over five hours singing songs on the statue in George Square before a cop ring of steel slowly closed in on them.
A few lone stranglers chanted “We Shall Not Be Moved” before cops moved in to remove the final fans about 9.55pm.
George Square was then closed to the public by officers, with a huge clean up operation expected to begin in the coming hours as huge piles of rubbish and broken glass filled the Square.
Footage from today has shown jubilant fans waving flags and letting off smoke bombs as they celebrate winning the league trophy.
