Police horse burger thrower fined

A Celtic fan has been fined £90 for throwing a hamburger at a police horse ahead of the Bhoys’ Champions League encounter at Manchester City.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Tweeted on Tuesday to say the horse, named Lancaster, was in a “stable” condition following the incident.
