Celtic hooligan found guilty of punching three police horses

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Kevin McGuire led violence ahead of a game last January and reacted violently to requests to move on

A Celtic fan has been found guilty of punching three police horses during disturbances prior to the club's Scottish Cup tie against Airdrie last year.

Kevin McGuire, 36, was involved in violent incidents in the area surrounding Celtic Park before the game in January 2019.

And he has now been found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to the horses at Glasgow Sheriff Court in connection with those events.
