UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after a fan invaded the field and tried to kick Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe in Tuesday's Champions League match.
In the first half of PSG's 5-0 victory at Celtic Park, the spectator ran on and swung a leg at the 18-year-old, but only hit fresh air.
The fan was caught and escorted off the field by security, and police confirmed he had been arrested.
Celtic themselves are in trouble, though, as European football's governing body has charged the Glasgow side with a violation of the disciplinary regulations.
Manager Brendan Rodgers condemned the pitch invader's actions after the match.
He said: "That reaction [jeers from the Celtic fans] said it all really. It's disappointing for any ground, any club, a supporter getting on to the pitch like that.
Last season, Arsenal had to pay up €5,000 when a supporter invaded the field during their match against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
