A teenager who robbed a drum from a St Johnstone supporter before a Rangers game has been banned from football matches for 21 months.
The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, assaulted Saints supporters’ liaison officer Beverly Mayer outside Hampden on 17 August last year.
He previously pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assault and robbery.
The boy was due to be sentenced last month but failed to do his social work background report and was warned that he could face prison.
As well as the football ban, Sheriff Mark McGuire sentenced the teenager to 108 hours of unpaid work.
The teenager, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, was also put under supervision for a period of 12 months.
Rangers, who were playing at the national stadium due to renovation work at Ibrox, banned four supporters indefinitely following the incident.
Court papers state that the boy – while acting with another person wearing a face covering – ran towards Miss Mayer and seized hold of a drum she was carrying.
The charge says that the boy dragged her by the drum which caused her to fall and strike her head on the ground.
The papers go on to state that the teenager then robbed Miss Mayer of the drum.
He also pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
