A CELTIC fan found himself in court after posting sectarian abuse on social media.

Mark Brennan posted his vile rant on Facebook, which included saying of a Rangers fan who was bottled, "The h*n b*****d got what he deserved.

"I have no feelings, no pity for these people."

He finished with "Mon the Celtci. Hail, hail. IRA," in the post on October 17, 2016.

Thinking better of it, Brennan, of Thornliebank, then posted a retraction but his remarks had already been seen by cops.

Sheriff Allan Findlay ordered Brennan, 45, to do 120 hours of unpaid work in four months.
