A Celtic fan who threw a missile onto the Parkhead pitch was picked out by fellow supporters before being “ejected” by stewards in the 3-1 win over Hearts.

The object is believed to have landed near Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster’s goal.

Fellow Celtic fans told stewards who the offender was and he is thought to have been chucked out of the stadium.

Forster was making his first start for the club since he rejoined on loan from Premier League side Southampton and received a warm reception at the start.

Fans took to social media to condemn the behaviour of the supporter.

One tweeted: “Some d***head threw a bottle at one of the Hearts players.

“He was promptly pointed out by scores of Celtic fans and taken away while taking loads of abuse.

Another tweet said: “It looked like a fan behind Fraser Forster’s goal threw something just now and was outed by his fellow fans and removed from the stadium.”

There were plenty of similar messages.

One wrote: “Celtic supporters self-police as ‘fan’ is thrown after after missile incident.”

Forster was generally solid but he did get a booking for taking out Loic Damour after being dispossessed of the ball.

Vakoun Issouf Bayo struck in both halves and Callum McGregor also hit the back of the net for Celtic in the victory.

Conor Washington hit a late consolation for the visitors.
