EDINBURGH'S Council leader has hit back at Liam Gallagher over his comments about the local authority during Oasis' three Murrayfield shows.

Liam, 52, was left fuming in June after council bosses branded Oasis fans as “drunk”, “fat” and “old” in secret safety briefings.

Officials claimed the majority of the 200,000 fans attending the reunion shows across the three days were “rowdy” “middle-aged men" who “take up more room" and will drink to “medium to high intoxication”.
