Celtic IDIOT Could Ruin Champions League Hopes For Hoops!

Last updated : 04 October 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea are all trucking along in the Champions League, although Liverpool took a costly knock last night at Anfield.

But today's talking point is the nutter who charged on the pitch at Parkhead and 'struck' the AC Milan goalkeeper.

Hardly a Mike Tyson 'haymaker', but what was the idiot doing on the pitch in the first place. And the "antics" of AC Milan goalkeeper Dida had to be seen to be believed. To say the Brazilian appeared to 'exaggerated an injury following the clash with the fan is indeed an understatement.

But Celtic will have to wait and see the punishment they are sure to get.

Two seasons ago, Inter Milan were forced to play four games behind closed doors and were fined after a flare hit Dida during a Champions League quarter-final between the city rivals at the San Siro. The tie was awarded 5-0 to AC Milan.

More recently, Denmark were ordered to play four home Euro 2008 qualifiers at least 250 kilometres away from Copenhagen and fined £41,000 after a fan invaded the pitch and assaulted German referee Herbert Fandel during a match against Sweden in the Danish capital in June.

The match was awarded 3-0 to the Swedes, although UEFA did subsequently agree to slightly relax the restrictions on where future games could be played.
