A Celtic fan has been arrested in Manchester after throwing a hamburger at a police horse. 

The man was in the city last night to see the  Champions League match with Manchester City.

Greater Manchester Police tweeted the arrest: ”Celtic fan arrested for throwing a hamburger at a police horse in Piccadilly Gardens. Male started kicking about in the van #nightinacell".

The tweet sparked comical responses from fans.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed they arrested 14 fans in total after the match.

Superintendent Craig Thompson of Greater Manchester Police Specialist Operations Branch said: “Our policing operation has now come to an end and I am pleased to say that the fixture passed largely without incident, which I think is a testament to fans of both clubs.
