A Celtic fan has been fined for throwing a hamburger at a police horse in Manchester.

Thousands of supporters descended on the city to watch the Scottish champions face Manchester City in the Champions League group stage match.

The incident happened on Tuesday evening in Piccadilly Gardens in the city centre, where many away fans gathered before the game.

Around 3000 Celtic fans had travelled to the city, with police revealing 14 arrests "were made throughout the day".

Greater Manchester Police also confirmed one Celtic fan arrested for throwing a burger at a police horse was kept in the cells overnight before being handed a £90 fixed penalty notice and released on Wednesday.

Superintendent Craig Thompson, of Greater Manchester Police specialist operations branch, said: "Our policing operation has now come to an end and I am pleased to say that the fixture passed largely without incident, which I think is a testament to fans of both clubs.

"I would like to thank them for their cooperation throughout and although the result may not have been what either side wanted, I hope everyone in attendance enjoyed the occasion and the competitive atmosphere the game was played in.

"We have significant experience in policing occasions like this and sadly, as is often the case, we did experience a small number of incidents which were dealt with swiftly and resulted in a number of arrests.

"However the majority of fans were extremely well behaved and I hope everybody has a safe journey home."
