Celtic fan wiped out by steward as pitch invader gatecrashes Ange Postecoglou interview live on air

A Parkhead pitch invader was wiped out by a steward on live TV during Celtic's title celebrations.

Sky Sports broadcast from the pitch as Ange Postecoglou 's side were presented with the Premiership trophy after demolishing Motherwell 6-0 on Saturday.

But one Celtic supporter got rather too tied up in the carnival atmosphere as he embarked on a brave bid to join in the party with players and management.

Footage captured the fan being tackled by a steward just yards from where Postecoglou was conducting a post-match interview alongside host Eilidh Barbour, ex-Scotland star James McFadden plus Celtic legends Martin O'Neill and Stiliyan Petrov.

McFadden even turns to see what the fuss is about as the fan is tripped as he dashes past the TV camera.

Another steward is then quickly on the scene, presumably to remove the invader from the pitch.

Either he was the consummate professional or simply didn't notice, but Postecoglou's interview continued uninterrupted in the foreground.

Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis both hit doubles as Celtic put on a show for their fans and there were further goals from David Turnbull and Jota.

The victory ensured Postecoglou's side finished the league campaign unbeaten on their home turf.
