One young Celtic fan was caught red handed- on television across Europe- helping himself to a match ball from the 2-0 defeat against Valencia.
There wasn’t many shots on target during the game with one effort in the 55th minute flying into the Jock Stein Stand.
UEFA regulations to improve advertising visibility mean that the first few rows behind the goal are left empty with the young fan and his dad in the front row indulging in some nifty work to bad their prize souvenir.
Unfortunately with the cameraman following the action the incident was shown live on telly with some explanations required.
The initial excitement of other family members watching at home would have been quickly followed by embarrassment as the incident was shown.
With the added complication of social media coverage some interesting questions would have been asked when the match ball made it’s way home after the game with the follow up coming in the playground this morning.
