The Orange Order has warned against "boozed-up foul-mouthed followers" ahead of one of its walks through Scotland's largest city.

The annual County Grand Orange Order parade is taking place in Glasgow city centre on Saturday with organisers warning against disorder.

Police have also issued advice over "considerable traffic disruption" on streets in and around the city.

Around 4500 musicians and supporters will be taking part with a further 4000 people expected to turn out to watch the parade.

The main procession from George Square is due to leave at 10.30am but there will be a number of feeder marches taking place, each beginning around 8am in their respective districts.

They will then meet at George Square at 10am for a short service at the Cenotaph. The parade will then make for Glasgow Green where a rally will be held. This will finish at 4pm when the bands will make the return journey back to their various areas.

Henry Dunbar, grand master of the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland, said: "The annual Glasgow Boyne Celebration is the city's biggest street event and we want spectators to enjoy the music and the pageantry in a carnival atmosphere.

"We do not wish anyone's enjoyment spoiled by antics of boozed-up foul-mouthed followers. There is no place in our celebrations for public drinking, abusive behaviour or offensive chants.

"This type of behaviour undermines all the positive work carried out by the Orange Order and its members and negatively influences the public perception of what it is actually all about - a democratic right to march and celebration of our culture".

The roads most affected will be: Blythswood Square, West George Street, George Square, George Street, High Street, Saltmarket and Glasgow Green.

There will be numerous roads closures during the day around the city, particularly on side roads leading to the march route. The full parade from George Square to Glasgow Green will take two hours to complete.

Officers and stewards will be on points to assist with traffic restrictions during the parade. People driving in and around the city centre are advised to follow the advice and directions given, and to leave extra time for their journey.

Police have also warned against any sectarian behaviour and said "previous experience shows that it is the unwelcome minority who use the event to drink too much and cause offence".

Superintendent Jim Coubrough, who is in charge of policing the event, said: "Traffic delays are inevitable, however, we have been liaising closely with event organisers and the local authority to minimise disruption to road users and local community.

"Thousands of people will be involved in the parade and I would advise those intending to come into the city to plan their travel well ahead on the day.

"My priority is public safety. That means the safety of everyone - those taking part in the parade and the public in general - those in the city to shop, work or who live there.

"As everyone should be aware by now, drinking alcohol in the street or in any public place is illegal and officers will be ensuring that people comply with this legislation.

"Previous experience shows that it is the unwelcome minority who use the event to drink too much and cause offence, however, be assured we will not tolerate and sectarian or antisocial behaviour."
