Celtic were relieved to avoid heavy punishment but AC Milan were left reeling after UEFA banned goalkeeper Dida for two matches for his theatrics in last week’s controversial Champions League match at Parkhead.<\/p>\n
Celtic have been fined \u00a325,000, half of which is suspended, for their part in the incident which saw a pitch-invading supporter approach the Brazilian goalkeeper after Scott McDonald scored the late winning goal.<\/p>\n

Dida was found to have breached UEFA’s ‘principles of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship’.<\/p>\n
And the 34-year-old, who writhed around in feigned agony in the goalmouth when he was barely tapped by the Celtic supporter, received no sympathy from the 10-man disciplinary body.<\/p>\n
Stunned Milan have pledged to appeal against the punishment, which as it stands means Dida will miss the club’s Champions League games against Shakhtar Donetsk.<\/p>\n
AC Milan lawyer Leandro Cantamessa blasted the decision to hit Dida with such a strong punishment, while only fining Celtic a small sum for the pitch invasion by the supporter. [Dida gets two match ban as Celtic escape with fine<\/em><\/a>. ESPN Soccernet. October 12 2007]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
