FIVE Celtic fans have been arrested following shameful vandalism
FIVE Celtic fans have been arrested following shameful vandalism and flare-throwing at Motherwell last Friday night.
Celts chiefs suspended 128 supporters and relocated 250 season-ticket holders after dozens of seats were damaged during their 5-0 victory.
Police Scotland have now confirmed the first arrests were made on Monday.
The hooliganism was the latest in a string of incidents involving fans in the Green Brigade group.
Celtic were due to discover yesterday what action they face over an “illicit” banner displayed during their clash with AC Milan but they will now find out tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a teenager has appeared in court charged with throwing a flare on to the pitch during a Scottish Cup clash between Falkirk and Rangers on November 30.
Five Celtic fans arrested after disturbances at Motherwell's Fir Park
Five Celtic fans have been arrested after seats were destroyed and smoke bombs, fireworks and flares set off during the club’s game against Motherwell.
The damage was caused at Fir Park during the match on Friday, with seats in the south stand pulled out.
Officers said 18 smoke bombs, three fireworks and one flare were set off.
There were also disturbances and vandalism in Motherwell both before and after the game.
Police Scotland have since arrested five people in connection with the disturbances and are trawling through CCTV as they try and indentify other people.
In response to the disorder, Celtic have temporarily banned 128 fans and have announced they are to break up the Green Brigade section at Parkhead.
The match saw Celtic defeat Motherwell 5-0.
