If I wanted to use 'one after another' as my subject, does it take a plural or singular verb?

Would you provide the whole sentence you wish to construct?
'One messenger after another delivered news of you success.' (I know the form does not change in english, but I need to know if it is plural or singular for a spanish translation).
The sentence is similar to: Each citizen got up and spoke his piece on the garbage proposal. Since the messengers are identified as individuals I don't think they would be collective and plural. If you said "All of the messengers delivered news . . . . " they would be plural. If the citizens got up and spoke, they would be plural.
