The Celtic supporter who invaded the Parkhead pitch after Scott McDonald's late winner against Milan has been banned from Bhoys games for life.
The 27-year-old man entered the field of play in the final minute of the UEFA Champions League match and was involved in an incident with Milan goalkeeper Dida.
He made himself known to Celtic on Thursday and has been immediately banned from all the club's home and away matches for life.
"Clearly, Celtic take this issue extremely seriously and it is satisfying that this individual has been identified so swiftly," chief executive Peter Lawwell said in a statement on the club's official website.
"The individual in question has now been banned for life from attending Celtic matches, both home and away."
After being interviewed by Celtic staff, the man then handed himself in to Strathclyde Police to be questioned about the incident.
