Celtic’s Scottish Premiership match against Dundee at Dens Park was interrupted on Sunday when balls were thrown onto the pitch by the away fans in an organised protest against the club’s hierarchy.
Supporters began throwing an assortment of balls onto the playing surface as the game kicked off, prompting the referee to halt the match.
Players and staff immediately set to task picking up the balls and removing them from the pitch while the away end chanted “sack the board.”
Several banners were also displayed by the Celtic fans and play was stopped for around three minutes.
