Smoke Bomb Supporter Fined £1000
A football supporter who threw a smoke bomb onto the pitch at last year's Scottish Cup final has been fined £1,000.
Alister Christie, from Dundee, was also handed a three-match ban following the incident at Celtic Park on May 17.
Police noticed a smoke bomb had been thrown from the east stand just as the St Johnstone and Dundee United tie kicked off.
Christie, 27, was then witnessed swirling a smoke bomb above his head before throwing it onto the pitch, prosecutors said.
He was convicted of a charge of culpable and reckless conduct at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Stephen Ferguson, football liaison prosecutor for the west of Scotland, said: "Setting off smoke bombs or any pyrotechnics at a football match is very foolish and potentially dangerous.
"Such irresponsible behaviour at football matches, and in fact anywhere, will not be tolerated and police and prosecutors are resolute in their efforts to identify perpetrators of such offences and ensure they are brought to justice.''
