Supporter banned for life

CELTIC have moved swiftly to impose a lifetime ban on the supporter who struck AC Milan goalkeeper Dida at the end of their Champions League win at Parkhead on Wednesday night.

The incident following Scott McDonald’s last-minute winner has overshadowed the 2-1 victory over the reigning European champions and Celtic are now likely to face a UEFA probe.

In the mayhem that followed the late winner, a fan ran onto the pitch and clipped the Brazilian who, after initially giving chase, collapsed theatrically to the ground. Pathetically, he was then taken off on a stretcher.

A 27-year-old man yesterday approached the club and was interviewed by staff before going to London Road police station. Police said the man is being held for an alleged breach of the peace and is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court tomorrow.
