Celtic fans in court over Ajax violence A verdict is expected today after six Celtic fans made an appearance in an Amsterdam court charged with assaulting police officers in the city earlier this month. The trial, expected to take place this afternoon, will see all six fans appear before Amsterdam District Court. Two fans, Andy Vance and Padraig Mullan, have been in custody for more than two weeks. The men are aged between 20 and 49. A court spokesperson said a verdict was likely to be issued today for all defendants. All six men are alleged to have acted violently towards police officers in Dam Square on Wednesday 6 November on the eve of a Champions League game between Celtic and Ajax. Forty-four people were arrested, including 18 Celtic supporters - 12 of whom were released after being fined up to 500 euros. Dutch plainclothes police officers were injured during the violence. Footage of skirmishes in the city centre emerged on Youtube hours after violence erupted.
