The large group belted out songs as they made their way up Buchanan Street in front of shocked onlookers.

Many of the yobs raised their right arms in a disgusting fascist salute.

The sickening footage was shared on Twitter shortly after 5pm.

@PlaydirtyRavz posted: "Hitler youth, aka Lazio fans, invading Glasgow."

The post has racked up thousands of likes and retweets and has been slammed by users on social media.

Another clip emerged shortly after on YouTube showing the group making similar gestures earlier in the march.

The Italian side face Celtic at Parkhead in the third matchday in the Europa League group stage tonight.

 

The Hoops sit top of Group E with four points thanks to a win over Cluj and draw against Rennes.

Lazio are in third spot after beating the French side after an opening day defeat to the Romanians.

 

The sickening scenes come after Celtic starlet Jeremie Frimpong revealed he was subjected to horrific racist abuse playing in Italy when he was just TEN.

The 18-year-old told how he was taunted by brainless yobs when playing for Manchester City at a youth tournament in Rome.

It also comes a night after Liverpool fans displayed a racist banner during the match at Genk - Divock Origi mocked up as the 'WhatsApp Guy' meme, which perpetuates an offensive stereotype.
