Councillor Graeme Miller added: "While it's a real shame that none of the fans were able to be there to cheer the team on, it's entirely right that we should celebrate their success by lighting our landmarks in the team's colours. "I'd also like to pay tribute to the fans for taking heed of public health messages by celebrating the win safely at home."
