Police seek 19 people after Glasgow football chaos
Shoppers could be seen screaming and running back indoors to avoid the rush.
Online footage showed one football fan fall to the ground while others ran around him. A short time later a flare was set off near a shop doorway.
An officer was then seen using his baton on a number of fans passing by.
A shopper told BBC News they were forced to take refuge in a nearby shop “for their own safety”.
CCTV footage from Gallagher’s Bar on Howard Street showed a masked man being punched in the face as he tried to enter the pub of Celtic supporters.
Moments later a flare was thrown through the doorway while fans charged along the street outside.
During the disorder, a Police Scotland officer was injured after missiles were thrown and a 26-year-old man was also taken to hospital after being seriously assaulted.
Officers were authorised to use stop and search powers, including removing items being used to conceal identity.
