Sinclair was later pelted with a coin - at the same area of the stadium - as he went to take another corner.

"The players and officials and management staff should be protected - it's their environment that they entertain in.

"It's not on."

Celts legend Packie Bonner was stunned by the actions of the missile yobs.

He told BBC Sportsound: "I just don't understand it."

Aberdeen icon Willie Miller added: "It'll keep happening until the clubs take strict liability on board.

"It's ridiculous. They're talking about getting VAR into the game...we need VAR in the stands."

That prompted Celts supporters to throw a flare onto the pitch, leaving a black mark on the grass.

James Forrest gave the visitors the lead after the interval.

Scott Brown added a second in the 75th minute to put the visitors in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
