Celtic fans jailed in Holland

Five Celtic supporters have been jailed in Amsterdam following an incident prior to a Champions League match earlier this month.

The handful of Hoops fans have had various sentences handed down by the Amsterdam District Court ranging from two months to one month after being 'arrested and charged with acts of violence in a public space following clashes between supporters and police'.

The incident took place in Dam Square before the defeat to Ajax on November 6 and involved 28 Scots, who were among 44 people who clashed with eight plain-clothed police officers.
