A Celtic fan once cleared of hanging effigies at an Old Firm game has been fined £400 for attacking another football supporter.
Kieran Carvill punched an Airdrie fan before a Scottish Cup tie between the clubs at Parkhead in January this year.
The 19-year-old pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting the man, who has not been traced.
Carvill, of the city's Pollok, was one of nine Celtic fans acquitted last year of hanging the blow up dolls at a game against Rangers in September 2016.
The case was thrown out by a sheriff after a two-year wait.
This latest incident at the cup tie among other fans who also started fighting.
Paul Kavanagh, defending, said the unknown man had attacked Carvill first.
Mr Kavanagh added: “He didn’t know if it was Airdrie or Celtic fans.
“He was walking on London Road to get a ticket and had to go past the away fans. There were supporters fighting amongst themselves.
“While wearing no colours he was punched by the unknown man and when Mr Carvill saw him again he went up to him.”
Sheriff Barry Divers reduced the fine from £450.
