OASIS took a parting shot at snooty council chiefs last night — as they thrilled 70,000 fans, including Celtic legend Neil Lennon, at their third Scots gig.
Liam Gallagher demanded an apology on stage over safety briefings in Edinburgh that warned of an influx of 'fat, old, drunk and lairy' men.

He claimed their followers had helped generate '£3billion' for the city but told the crowd: 'You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh, ugly mates.
'Still waiting for our apology.'
Lennon, 54, was snapped with fellow punters before the sell-out third and final night at Murrayfield Stadium.
The Dunfermline manager, whose footballer son is called Gallagher Lennon, wore a T-shirt with Noel and Liam on it as he made his way to the venue.
One onlooker said: 'He looked like was buzzing for the concert.'
Crowds basked in temperatures of up to 26C as they gathered near the home of Scottish rugby hours before the gates opened.
Hundreds kept cool in the Murrayfield Hotel's beer garden, where chefs grilled burgers on a barbecue.
Boss Steven Groat, 42, hailed fans for creating a party atmosphere.
He said: 'It has been fantastic. Everybody has behaved themselves and are just here for a good time.
'We're used to big crowds for the rugby but this has been something else. It's been great for business.'

Corrin Mawhinney, 55, travelled from Kilmarnock with her daughter Cath, 30, plus pals Kirsty Ronald, 29, and Sarah Calderwood, 34.
Care worker Sarah said: 'We've travelled all over to see Liam and Noel perform in solo gigs.
"The fact they're back together means this will be twice as special.'
Ross Duncan, 41, brought his son Zack, 11, from Newton Mearns, near Glasgow, on the final day of the holidays before he starts P7.
The schoolboy said: 'It's my first-ever gig. I'm buzzing. Nobody else in my class has a ticket for this. It's going to be so good.'
Accountant Ross added: 'My wife was supposed to be coming but she gave it up so Zack could be here.
DEFINITELY I DO
A COUPLE got engaged during the sold-out Oasis gig at Murrayfield on Friday night.
Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher kicked off the first of three massive shows in Edinburgh, and during the two-hour-plus show, a couple in the crowd got engaged.
Gigs in Scotland caught the adorable moment an Oasis fan got down on one knee during the band's hit Slide Away.
In a clip shared on social media, Liam can be seen singing the 1994 song.
As he sings the lyrics: "Now that you're mine," the camera then pans around to the fan proposing to his girlfriend.
During the video, the woman, dressed in an Oasis top and bucket hat, can be seen saying yes during the proposal.
He then pops the ring on her finger and the couple share a kiss as they enjoy the heartwarming moment.
Gigs in Scotland wrote: "We caught a very special moment during Slide Away...
"Huge congrats to the happy couple!"
'She wanted to treat him to something really special.'
The Scottish Sun on Sunday told how concerns had been raised at Edinburgh City Council briefings ahead of the band's concerts.
The fears appeared to be unfounded after the first two shows passed with no signs of trouble.
But last night there were shocking scenes as more than 100 ticketless youths turned up at the stadium and tried to gatecrash the event.
The youngsters were flanked by cops after arriving at the site just before Oasis took to the stage.
More than a dozen jumped over a barrier and were chased by officers.
But around 15 others ran into the garden of a nearby house then vaulted over a wall into the arena.
One local resident said: 'Stuff like this happens every time there is a concert — but nothing on this scale.'
