Things turned ugly during Celtic’s friendly meeting with Ajax, as both sets of supporters clashed inside the stadium. The two clubs were competing in a pre-season tournament in Como when unsavoury scenes erupted between the fans in the terraces.

A sizeable Ajax contingent were said to have made the journey to Northern Italy, with Celtic fans having also turned up in strong numbers. However, as the sun set on the picturesque Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, tensions boiled over in the stands.

Social media footage captured depicts fans from the two clubs banging on the perspex glass separating the sections, with security officials forced to intervene. Plastic pint pots filled with liquid can also be seen being thrown by both sets of fans, with some Celtic supporters also spotted waving Palestine flags.
