Celtic fan banned for two years over Shankland gesture

A Celtic fan who made an offensive gesture to ex-Hearts player Lawrence Shankland during a pitch invasion has been banned from football matches for two years and ordered to do unpaid work. Liam Connolly, 37, entered the Celtic Park pitch after his side were victorious against the Edinburgh club on 16 May, a result that clinched the league title for the Hoops. Celtic defeated Hearts 3-1 in a final day top of the table clash which meant the home side went on to win their 56th league title.
