Hide AdAddison, a plumber from Cumbernauld, was fined £1000 after pleading guilty to the offence.
He claimed he was trying to help a friend who was being held by steward Graeme McKechnie as bedlam broke out among the Celtic support, who clashed with police.
Sheriff Kenneth MacIver did not hand down a football banning order, but added that the Glasgow club may take their own action.
