A CELTIC fan was jailed for four-and-a-half years yesterday after being caught with £15,000 of drugs before a big match.

Anthony Holmes, 30, was on his way to see his team playing Sunderland at Celtic Park when he was nabbed in a pub near the ground after a tip-off.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Holmes, of Dundee, went to collect the parcel of drugs at the Springfield Vaults pub.

But police found the drugs courier locked in a toilet holding the cocaine.

Holmes was jailed after he admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine on July 24 last year.
