Aird, of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, did not attend the match but met up with a group of fellow Celtic supporters at the station.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Motherwell fans attended the station moments before a verbal altercation took place. Aird initially made attempts to split up the approximately 20 feuding fans which included a 17-year-old boy.Prosecutor Jeremy O'Neill said:"However, there was a lull to which Aird on his own volition began to fight with other football supporters.The incident came to an end when a firework was let off on the platform unbeknownst to Aird.
Aird initially moved to the back of the platform with other members of the group before they were traced by police.Mr O'Neill added:"They denied involvement in the incident." CCTV was used to later identify Aird who was traced again when he told officers:"Aye, I can't deny it."Paul Kavanagh, defending, told an earlier hearing:"He was 19 at the time and has no previous convictions."He has attended games since with friends and family and you can be satisfied that he can demonstrate that he can be a useful member of society.Sheriff Jonathan Guy admonished Aird of the charge at today’s sentencing.
