Celtic fan banned for life

A Celtic fan who ran on to the pitch during the Champions League game against AC Milan has been arrested for breach of the peace.

The 27-year-old has also been banned for life by Celtic after he made himself known to the Glasgow club.

He had rushed from the stand following Celtic's last-minute goal and appeared to strike Milan goalkeeper Dida. Chief executive Peter Lawwell told the club's website:

"It is satisfying that he has been identified so swiftly."

The impact from the fan's flailing arm appeared minimal, but Dida collapsed to the ground and was taken off on a stretcher after initially chasing the culprit for a few steps.
