Pitch invasion STOPS Celtic trophy presentation in Cork
Brendan Rodgers' side won the pre-season friendly encounter 2-1 thanks to goals from Luke McCowan and a late header by Colby Donovan to score the winner. In the Irish sun, a packed-out crowd watched on in anticipation to see the Scottish Premiership champions in action. But after the full-time whistle had sounded, some young, eager fans could not contain their excitement, as they invaded the pitch to get up close with their heroes. Hundreds of youngsters streamed onto the field as the match organisers prepared to hand the trophy to Hoops skipper Callum McGregor. It was all taken in good spirits by the Celts stars and staff, with Rodgers & Co. happy to pose for photos and high-fives with the kids. However, it soon became clear that the trophy presentation had been cancelled as a result of the mass pitch invasion. And so, Celtic's players and staff continued to mingle with those who had made their way onto the pitch before heading for the away dressing room in Cork after another productive pre-season workout.
