Celtic's Champions League victory against Ajax has been marred by disorder after seats were ripped out and thrown at stewards and police.

The disturbances took place in the immediate aftermath of the Dutch's side's 2-1 defeat to the Hoops.

One seat appeared to land on a line of stewards and police officers that were dividing the two sets of opposing fans.

Another showed around six ripped-out seats lying behind police officers after the final whistle in the match.

It came after "instances of disorder" were dealt with by police in Glasgow ahead of the big match.

Fans registered their disgust on Twitter and called for European football's governing body UEFA to step in.

One said: "Throwing seats, destroying Glasgow, trying to fight with Celtic supporters, just a disgrace to their club."

A Police Scotland spokeswoman described the scenes as "minor disorder". They had no details of arrests or injuries.

Earlier Police Scotland confirmed that there had been some reports of unrest but said officers had "quickly got the situation under control".

Social media websites were flooded with with reports of violence and rioting in the city centre and Glasgow's east end ahead of kick-off.

Superintendent Brian McInulty said: "This game has been sold out, with thousands of fans attending the match. The area is busy but is being policed appropriately.

"Officers have dealt with some instances of disorder, however the police response has been immediate and officers have quickly got the situation under control.

"We are experienced in dealing with major events and there is a significant policing operation in place to deal with any issues which may arise both at the ground and in the city."
