Celtic fans trial over 'police violence' in Amsterdam Ajax clashes Six Celtic fans accused of violence against Dutch police in Amsterdam are scheduled to stand trial. Two supporters, Andy Vance and Padraig Mullan, have been kept in custody for more than two weeks in the lead up to the court date. The four other fans of the Parkhead club, who also face allegations of violence against the police, are also expected to appear at Amsterdam District Court on Thursday afternoon. The one-day trial of the men, aged between 20 and 49 years old, follows violent clashes in Dam Square on Wednesday, November 6, in the build-up to the Champions League group game between Ajax and Celtic. Police arrested 44 supporters during the incident, including 18 Celtic supporters. Twelve of the fans of the Parkhead club were previously released after being fined up to €500, while another ten were sent home before the game. Video footage of the clashes that have been shared on viral website YouTube showed a group of Celtic supporters chasing a man believed to be a plainclothes police officer, before attacking him. Other footage taken in Amsterdam showed several men, believed to be plainclothes officers, restraining Celtic supporters before repeatedly kicking and punching them. The Parkhead club previously stated that they were investigating the incident and said that the violence came after their fans had been "subjected to a high degree of provocation." Local TV station AT5 recorded an interview with a Celtic supporter who sustained injuries to his face. An image of a police dog biting a Celtic fan in Dam Square was captured by an agency photographer. Christian Visser, the lawyer representing the Celtic fans facing trial, has said Vance and Mullan should be freed immediately and labelled the Dutch police as hooligans over the clashes. The Netherlands Embassy in London said the public prosecution service in Holland had received "video footage and photographic material of the disturbances" which are being reviewed. It also said the Dutch police are "conducting an internal review of the incident." The Fans Against Criminalisation organised an evidence gathering session in Glasgow at the weekend to compile accounts from fans who were in Amsterdam during the violence that broke out between 5pm and 6pm. The group planned to submit information they compiled to the lawyers representing the Celtic fans at the trial.
