Published Date: 14 July 2011
AUSTRALIAN police scored an own goal with Celtic fans after they kept score of how many Hoops supporters they had arrested during a match.
Officers from Victoria Police were red carded by followers on their Twitter page after they kept an online scorecard.

Despite Neil Lennon's side recording a 1-0 win oveer Melbourne Victory, however, local police claimed a moral victory after boasting "Game over. Celtics 1 - Police 14" on their Twitter page.

The site, normally used to promote police campaigns or give updates was turned into a running commentary of efforts to control the crowd.

Angry fans soon flooded the force's site with complaints.
