-

A Celtic fan who invaded the pitch and assaulted a player during a Champions League match has been ordered to carry out 160 hours of unpaid work.

John Hatton, 21, from Northern Ireland, has also been banned from attending football matches for four years.

He jumped over a metal railing at Celtic Park during the team’s 5-0 defeat to Paris St-germain last month tried to kick PSG forward Kylian Mbappe.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Hatton had been drinking for more than eight hours before the match on 12 September.
