Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher dubbed Edinburgh City Council bosses 'f****** slags' after their fans were branded 'fat, drunk and rowdy'.

The Brit Pop singer launched a foul mouthed tirade against officials who claimed attendees of their Murrayfield gigs would be 'mainly middle-aged men who take up more room' with a 'medium to high intoxication'.

Liam hit back at the comments during the band's first Scottish gig since 2009, as they opened the first of three concerts in the city to 70,000 fans on Friday.

'One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f****** slags,' he told the crowd.

'£1 billion pounds we're bringing to this city over the next three days. £1billion. But you won't see any of it because the Lord Provost will be splitting it between [his] posh ugly f***ing mates.'
