One man told the People's Channel: "We really don't know what's happening to the city of Glasgow.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's beginning to become a shambles of a place."
Admitting the flags will cause "mixed opinion" among locals, one woman said: "I think it's the opinion of everybody, isn't it? Some people like it, the other folk don't.
"Personally, we are in Scotland. So it should be the Scottish flag."

She added: "I just prefer the Scotland flag. I don't like any other flags joined up with Scotland."
Delivering his verdict on the flag, another man told Tony that the issues facing Palestine are "over there, not here".
He fumed: "The problems are over there, it's not here. I think we should keep it that way.
"We don't want it. It's a terrible thing, and I hate to see it."

Revealing that some of the flags have been "torn down" by locals, Tony explained: "United in Resistance have basically said that they've hoped that because Glasgow City Council hasn't taken down all the Saltires that have gone up around the city that they'll leave these up.
"But a few have already been torn down, both here and in the West End. But interestingly enough, Glasgow has long voiced its support for Palestine and the groups associated with Gaza.
"The royal crest of Scotland is also on lampposts, and it just seems that what started as a sign of unity and a kind of a sign of togetherness, where everyone is feeling a bit grim in the world, has suddenly turned into a tit for tat, certainly because of the accusations of the far-right kind of symbology over the flags going up."
GB News has approached Glasgow City Council for comment.
