Liam Connolly, 37, has been banned for two years after entering the pitch at Celtic Park following his side's victory over the Edinburgh club on 16 May.
The incident drew attention from football authorities, who have taken a firm line on pitch incursions and behaviour directed at players during and after matches. Connolly's ban reflects the seriousness with which clubs and governing bodies now treat supporter conduct on the field.
The case has also highlighted the ongoing efforts to maintain order and safety at Scottish football grounds. Stewards and police work to keep the playing area clear, and any breach of these rules can carry significant consequences for the individual involved.
The sanction serves as a reminder to supporters that emotional celebrations must remain within the limits set by the authorities. Connolly now faces a lengthy period away from Celtic Park.
