Scottish kung-fu

Not sure if everyone is up to speed on Champions League play. But the latest drama is one for the box office, rather than the field.

In the match between Celtic and AC Milan, Celtic scored a late 90th-minute winner. During the ensuing celebration a Celtic fan ran on to the pitch and past the AC Milan keeper, Dida. As he did, the fan either "tapped" the keeper, or "viciously attacked" him. Here's a quote from the Celtic chief, 'All I saw were the TV pictures. He took a couple of steps after the fan and then obviously made this decision that he should go to ground. Unless I missed something he was carried off on a stretcher for what seemed to be the lightest tap you can imagine.'

What's even better is that in this electronic day and age, it only took 24 hours for someone to post a video of the incident, complete with a Phil Collins soundtrack.
