A sinister Celtic fan revealed personal information about a police officer and his partner to the shocked constable at a supporters march.
Iain Clift made the “disgusting” comments during a walk to Hampden Stadium before the Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen last May 24.
The 27 year-old was part of the “unauthorised” 2,500-strong march from Glasgow Green amid a heavy police presence during which he told the officer: “I know where you stay and you have a golden retriever. Your missus is from East Kilbride as well.”
Clift also knew the PC’s first name, showed the officer images on his phone of his partner from social media accounts, and went on to make a vile sexual remark about the woman before calling the officer a “horrible pig c***.”
Clift was arrested after the match and appeared in the dock to plead guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and was ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work. He was also banned from football for three years.
