UPDATE: UEFA opens disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after fan invades pitch. Read more here.
CELTIC face a Uefa investigation after a fan breached security to run on the pitch and apparently tried to kick Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.
The incident occurred shortly before half time in the Champions League clash at Parkhead on Tuesday, which the Gladgow club lost 5-0.
The supporter ran past stewards and and onto the field just moments before half-time and headed straight for the £143m striker
The supporter was eventually caught by ground staff and led away.
Pictures have emerged showing the supporter being dragged away by stewards.
One fan said: “He ran on the pitch and took a kick at the player, but missed.
“It took everybody by surprise.
“Before you knew it, a group of stewards got to him and took him off the pitch.”
