The French giants were running riot and were completely dominating their hosts when the shocking attempted assault happened.

They had just taken a three-goal lead courtesy of Edinson Cavani's penalty when the fan invaded the pitch moments later around five minutes before the break.

Pictures have emerged showing the supporter being dragged away by stewards, and Celtic could face Uefa action.

A source told the Scottish Sun: “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.”

And Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers condemned the fan, saying: "The reaction of the crowd said it all.

"It was disappointing and you don't want to see a supporter getting onto the pitch at any ground.

"It was bitterly disappointing and the club will deal with that person, we didn't want to see it."

The pitch invader was booed by Celtic fans following the incident which leaves the Hoops facing sanctions from European football’s governing body.

BT Sport presenter Darrell Currie discussed the incident during the half-time analysis with Bhoys legends Henrik Larsson and John Hartson.

He said: “It’s not been a good night so far for Celtic and a fan came on the pitch as well, confronted Mbappe.

“And I can tell you, all the rest of the fans around us were fuming, furious with him going on the pitch.”

Mbappe had earlier grabbed PSG's second of the game following Neymar's opener.

PSG would go on to win the opening Champions League Group B match 5-0.

Celtic have already been on the receiving end of a fine from Uefa THIS SEASON.

PSG are different gravy! 🙌🏻

They were hit with a £20,000 sanction for illicit banners displayed by supporters during their Champions League qualifier against Linfield in July.

The Scottish Premiership champions were in the dock over the "paramilitary-style" display before their clash with the Northern Irish outfit.

Despite that latest punishment, the Hoops avoided having a stand closed for their ELEVENTH misdemeanour in just six years.

They have now totalled over £160,000 in fines since 2011.
