A nine-year-old was treated by medical staff at Celtic Park, after being injured by a pyrotechnic before Celtic’s match against Real Madrid.
On Tuesday evening, the supporter was rushed to the medical room at the stadium before being taken to a local hospital for further treatment. Their condition is currently unknown.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8pm on Tuesday, September 6, police were advised that a young child had been injured after being struck by a pyrotechnic flare within Celtic Park.

“The child was attended to by medical staff at Celtic Park and then due to attend a local hospital for further treatment. No further details at this time.
“Enquiries into the incident are continuing.”
The accident happened after the Green Brigade held a pyrotechnic display, despite pleas by the club not to do so. A message from the Celtic Supporters Liaison Office was released the day before the game, which read: “Reminder, the use of pyrotechnics including smoke bombs is prohibited within the stadium.
“The use of these devices in UEFA games is likely to result in the club receiving a sanction and fans are asked to please refrain from using these whilst inside Celtic Park, thank you.”
Earlier this year, Celtic shut down the Green Brigade standing section after a similar pyrotechnic display before a Rangers game. The club responded by closing the area for the Scottish Cup tie against Raith Rovers.
