Celtic fan who invaded pitch while carrying toddler could face jail

A Celtic fan who invaded the pitch with a two-year-old boy to celebrate a goal against Rangers could face jail.

Anthony Smith, 32, was delighted with Odsonne Edouard’s goal in a 2-1 derby win at Parkhead in March this year.

He ran onto the pitch holding the young boy in his arms,  took out his mobile phone to take pictures and waved his arms

He pleaded guilty today/yesterday (Thu) at to committing a breach of the peace.

Smith was acquitted of a charge of causing the child unnecessary suffering or injury to health.

His sentence was deferred for reports by Sheriff Neil MacKinnon until next month.

Smith, from Glasgow’s Parkhead area, was bailed meantime.
