A 38-year-old man has been banned from attending football matches for two years for his involvement in disorder at the end of the Celtic v Hearts game on Saturday, 16 May, 2026.
Liam Connolly pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace offence and was convicted on Wednesday, 7 October, 2026, at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He was given a Community Payback Order consisting of 150 hours and is subject to a two-year Football Banning Order.
Constable Ryan Beveridge said: “What followed at Celtic Park and towards the Trongate area of Glasgow after the final game of last season was completely unacceptable.
“We will not tolerate disorder and hostility of any kind and those involved will pay the consequences.”
