His antics have to be taken into account as well." </font></p> <font size="2"> </font></p> <div class="avinline"><font size="2"> <a onclick="java script:newsi.utils.av.launch({el:this});return false;" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/sol/newsid_7020000/newsid_7027500?redirect=7027537.stm&news=1&bbwm=1&nbram=1&nbwm=1&bbram=1"> </a> </font></div> <font size="2"> </font></p> <font size="2">The supporter ran on to the pitch following Celtic's late winner against the European champions and appeared to tap Dida on the shoulder as he ran across the six-yard box. </font></p> <font size="2">Dida initially gave chase to the fan before falling to the floor - and was carried off on a stretcher holding an ice pack to his face. </font></p> <font size="2"> <table width="208" height="3" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="5"></td> <td class="sibStdQuote"> <div> <div class="mva"></div> </div> <div class="mva"></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </font></p> <font size="2">"All I saw were the TV pictures," said Quinn. "He took a couple of steps after the fan and then obviously made this decision that he should go to ground. </font></p> <font size="2">"Unless I missed something, he was carried off on a stretcher for what seemed to be the lightest tap you can imagine." </font></p> <font size="2">The fan disappeared into the crowd in the aftermath of the celebrations. </font></p> <font size="2">But Quinn confirmed that the Scottish champions would investigate how he had been able to run on to the pitch and could even sue the fan involved. </font></p> <font size="2">Milan officials say they will not seek a replay of the match. </font></p> <font size="2">"We spoke to the officials of Milan, they were not ranting and raving, they were being sensible," said Quinn. </font></p> <font size="2">Uefa communications director William Gaillard said the governing body expects to receive their match delegate's report by the end of this week. </font></p> <font size="2"> "One of our prosecutors will look at the document and decide whether to open an investigation," he said. </font></p> <font size="2"> <table width="208" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="5"></td> <td class="sib606"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </font></p> <font size="2"> "If he opens an investigation, it will be a week or two before the disciplinary body deals with the case. </font></p> <font size="2"> "I don't want to presume anything. There is a whole range of possible punishment. But, of course, there are precedents for the same kind of incidents." </font></p> <font size="2"> Two seasons ago, Inter Milan were forced to play four games behind closed doors and were fined after a flare hit Dida during a Champions League quarter-final between the city rivals at the San Siro. </font></p> <font size="2">The tie was awarded 5-0 to AC Milan. </font></p> <font size="2"> More recently, Denmark were ordered to play four home Euro 2008 qualifiers at least 250 kilometres away from Copenhagen and fined £41,000 after a fan invaded the pitch and assaulted German referee Herbert Fandel during a match against Sweden in the Danish capital in June. </font></p> <font size="2">The match was awarded 3-0 to the Swedes, although Uefa did subsequently agree to slightly relax the restrictions on where future games could be played. </font></p> <font size="2">Celtic striker Scott McDonald, who said his winning goal was the highlight of his career, stressed: "I hope the authorities are lenient. It would be a tragedy if what happened affected the team." </font></p>
