19 year old supporter John Paul Murphy entered the field of play when Celtic were up 1 - 0 and Celtic instantly knew they were going to be in trouble again after before warned following last years similar incident and 20,000 Pound fine when another fan entered AC Milan’s goal area and appeared to touch (or strike if you had believed the Brazilian goalie) Dida before running off the pitch.

On Thursday Murphy pleaded guilty to both “Breach of Peace” and “Drunk in a Sports Ground” while being remanded in custody with his sentence deferred.
