A HIBS fan has avoided jail after trying to punch Rangers player Lee Wallace during the pitch invasion after last year’s Scottish Cup final.
Dale Pryde climbed over fencing, ran towards the defender, acted aggressively and tried to punch him on May 21, last year at Hampden Park.
He also ran towards Rangers fans and assaulted Jordan Gilmour by punching him on the head after the match that saw Hibs beat Rangers 3-2.
The 20-year-old also plead guilty to assaulting Megan Boyd by hitting her on the body with a chair during the same incident.
Pryde from Greendykes, Edinburgh plead guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a charge, contrary to the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act, and the two assault charges.
Pryde was given a tag for three months and must stay within his house between 7pm-6am.
He was also ordered to carry out 220 hours of unpaid community work and given a one year football banning order.
