Celtic fan rap

Uefa open disciplinary probe against Celtic after fan invades pitch and tries to kick PSG forward Kylian Mbappe

CELTIC face a Uefa probe after a fan ran on to the pitch and attempted to KICK Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe last night.

PSG won the match 5-0 at Parkhead and the supporter appeared to run on to the pitch undetected by stewards as he attempted to boot the Frenchman before being arrested.

Paris Saint-Germain have also been rapped after seats were damaged in Glasgow as the two teams began their Champions League group stage campaign.

Celtic are likely to face a large fine for the incident and will be breathing a sigh of relief that the 21-year-old fan in a green jacket, jeans and shoes did not hurt former Monaco forward Mbappe.

Uefa have already fined Celtic 11 times in less than six years over fan behaviour issues ranging from pro-IRA chants to fireworks, crowd disturbances and illicit banners.

Other Hoops fans were unhappy with the disruption just before the interval and Rodgers said the Parkhead club will take its own action.

He said: "The crowd reaction said it all. It is disappointing at any ground that a supporter gets on to the pitch.

    "I am sure the club will deal with that. It shouldn't be anything that we should see on a football field. The crowd in their reaction told you everything you need to know.''

    Rodgers admitted his side were simply outclassed by the free-spending French club whose multi-million pound frontline did the damage in the first half of their Champions League Group B opener.

    Brazilian star Neymar opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Mbappe added a second in the 34th minute before Edinson Cavani netted with a penalty five minutes before the break.

    Parkhead defender Mikael Lustig put through his own goal before Cavani grabbed his second with a clever header to hand the home side their record home defeat in Europe.

    The former Swansea City and Liverpool boss said: ''This is a level where you have to look after the ball and you have to make it work for you.

    ''In the first half we didn't do that, we were playing like Under-12s at times."

    Police Scotland confirmed they have made seven arrests at Celtic Park with four men expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
