AJAX fans brought shame on their club at Parkhead tonight by fighting and causing damage to a section of Celtic Park.

The unruly supporters had followed their club to Glasgow to watch the Amsterdam team play in the Champions League match against Neil Lennon’s Scottish champions.

However, they marred the occasion by stepping out of line.

Trouble flared in the Ajax section of the ground just moments after James Forrest had given the Parkhead team the lead just before half-time.

Disturbances broke out, with supporters in that section attempting to break out of their area and clashing with stewards.

In addition, seats were broken and thrown during the interval break before order was restored. The match eventually finished 2-1 to Celtic.

Earlier police had confirmed "some instances of disorder" in the city ahead of the match.

Comments posted on social media sites suggested there were scenes of violence on the streets in and around the east end of the city.

Superintendent Brian McInulty said: "Officers have dealt with some instances of disorder, however the police response has been immediate and officers have quickly got the situation under control."
