A CELTIC fan lost the plot after going into a mood because Brendan Rodgers left the club.
Craig Docherty drowned his sorrows on the day ex-manager Rodgers quit Parkhead to become Leicester City boss.
He later left his flat in Rutherglen on February 26 and started thumping on the door of neighbour.
The 38-year-old branded his neighbour a "f*****g cow" - leading to the worried couple calling police.

Raging Docherty went on to kick an officer after it was discovered he was also armed with a machete.
It lead to him being jailed for 34 months at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
His lawyer Craig Grimes told the hearing: "He said he was upset at the time, as unfortunately for him, Brendan Rodgers left his team Celtic that day.
"He then started drinking heavily into the evening."

The court earlier heard how Docherty rolled up to their door around 10pm.
Prosecutor Craig Farrell said he challenged his neighbours to a fight.
The pair dialled 999 - as Docherty returned to his flat to grab a machete.
Officers eventually found him close to the scene with the blade hidden down his trousers.

Docherty pled guilty to being threatening to his neighbours, possession of a blade and assaulting a police officer.
Sheriff Paul Crozier said: “This is a hideous item to have on you.
“You had on your person when drunk - who knows what you could have done with it.”
