GLASGOW, Celtic -- A man handed himself in to Scottish police on Thursday in connection with a pitch invasion at the Champions League match between Celtic and AC Milan at Parkhead.
AC Milan goalkeeper Dida was at the center of a controversial incident late in the match.
Strathclyde police had sought to trace a supporter who rushed onto the field shortly after Celtic scored their winner in the 2-1 defeat of the European Champions.
The man appeared to brush AC Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Nelson Dida in the face before dashing back into the grandstand.
Dida briefly made chase before collapsing to the ground, clutching his face.
He was eventually taken off on a stretcher with an icepack on his face while the rogue fan escaped into the crowd and was not apprehended.
Police said they were interviewing the man in connection with the incident which was captured live on television.
European governing body UEFA said they would await the report of the refere and match oficials before deciding whether to launch an investigation.
The incident could have serious repercussions for Celtic and took the gloss off a famous victory, but AC Milan vice president Adriano Gallini said they would not be contesting the outcome of the match.
"It's a decision that I've agreed on with president Silvio Berlusconi," he was quoted on the BBC Web site.
Brazilian international Dida is no stranger to crowd incidents and was hit by a flare during a Champions League quarterfinal in Italy in 2005. E-mail to a friend
