SATURDAY’S legends clash between Manchester United and Celtic was disrupted after a pitch invader STOLE a corner flag.
The bizarre incident occurred in the second half of the charity battle at Parkhead.
United roared into the lead through former Scotland captain Darren Fletcher.
The visitors then went 2-0 up thanks to a scorcher from Dimitar Berbatov.
But Celtic fought back with two goals in five second-half minutes through Scott McDonald and Shaun Maloney.
It forced a penalty shootout, with Joe Hart missing a spot-kick for Celtic before pulling off a stunning save against Darren Gibson.
Lee Naylor then stepped up to score the winning penalty for the Hoops, sending the green half of Glasgow wild.
However, the game was paused midway through the second half when a fan decided to invade the pitch.
The male was decked head to toe in a grey hooded tracksuit.
