Celtic fined nearly £10K for pitch invasion by Portadown man during Champions League game

Celtic have been fined £9,000 after a pitch invader ran towards PSG player Kylian Mbappe during the Champions League tie last month.

John Hatton from Portadown had earlier been sentenced to an 160-hour community payback order at Glasgow Sheriff Court after he ran onto the pitch and appeared to aim a kick at Kylian Mbappe during the game which PSG won 5-0.

PSG were also fined £4,000 for acts of damage after seats were broken at Celtic Park.
