A MAN has been arrested after he allegedly launched an item at a Hearts player during last night's match.

The winger was reportedly struck by objects thrown by Celtic supporters during his side's 1-0 Premiership defeat.

The former Rangers player twice approached a corner flag and could be seen complaining to referee Bobby Madden on both occasions.

Police Scotland has since arrested a 24-year-old.
