Celtic v Rangers 'pitch invader was carrying one year-old child', court is told

A man is to stand trial accused of invading the Parkhead pitch while carrying a one year-old child after Celtic scored a goal.

Anthony Smith allegedly celebrated with the youngster when Celtic went 1-0 up against Rangers at Celtic Park on March 31 this year in a game that eventually finished 2-1 to the home side.

Prosecutors claim Smith took out his phone to take photos of the incident while also colliding with others.
