Four Hibs fans have admitted their part in a pitch invasion at the end of the Scottish Cup final earlier this year.

David Jack, 19, who also pushed Rangers player Andy Halliday, pled guilty to running on the pitch on May 21 at Hampden Park as well as Bryan McCabe, 45, Steven Gordon, 28 and Alexander Lanni, 22.

Each of them either ran towards or approached Rangers fans and gesticulated in a threatening or aggressive manner or behaved aggressively after Hibs won 3-2.

Today at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Gordon, from Edinburgh, also admitted kicking an unknown man while he was on the ground.

He was given a £566 fine and a football banning order for a year and a half and McCabe, also from Edinburgh was given the same length of order and a £400 fine. Sentence was deferred on Jack, from Edinburgh, until next month for a social work report and on Lanni, from Livingston, to call alongside his trial in December for allegedly assaulting a man at Hampden, which he denies.
