A fan who ran on to the pitch during a Hamilton v Motherwell derby has been banned from football grounds for a year.
Ryan Burke, 31, of Wishaw Low Road, Cleland, was also fined £300 at Hamilton Sheriff Court.
Initially he denied causing a breach of the peace at New Douglas Park in December 2018.
Burke claimed he was celebrating a goal in Motherwell’s 2-1 victory and “got crushed and ended up on the park”.
He was due to stand trial, but ultimately admitted the charge which stated that he behaved in a disorderly manner, entered the field of play and gestured towards opposing fans.
Sheriff Daniel Kelly allowed Burke to pay the fine at £100 per month.
