Dida's theatrical reaction to being tapped by the Celtic supporter after Scott McDonald scored the late winning goal has cost him severely.

However Celtic may not choose to complain about their own punishment, with half of their fine suspended for two years.

UEFA did have the power to change the result of the October 3 match, which Celtic won 2-1, although that was always unlikely.

UEFA's control and disciplinary body found Celtic guilty of charges of "lack of organisation and improper conduct of supporters".

Dida was found to have breached UEFA's "principles of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship".

Milan have pledged to appeal against the punishment, which as it stands means he will miss the club's Champions League games against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Celtic acted swiftly to punish the 27-year-old supporter, who turned himself in and has since admitted a breach of the peace in court and will be sentenced next month.

The club banned the fan for life from the club's matches, home and away

Milan themselves were also hit with a UEFA charge on Monday, however they have avoided punishment as a club.
