    However, the European champions intend to appeal against the penalty imposed on the 34-year-old Brazilian. </p>

    Dida collapsed dramatically after a fan appeared to strike him near the end of AC Milan's 2-1 defeat on 3 October. </p>

    Celtic were found guilty of a lack of organisation and improper conduct of supporters at the match. </p>

    The Scottish champions face the prospect of a further &pound;25,000 fine if a similar incident happens over a two-year probationary period. </p>

    Dida was stretchered off after being confronted by the invading fan and was criticised for overreacting. </p>

    The incident occurred after Scott McDonald had slammed in Celtic's winner late on after Dida had failed to hold a Gary Caldwell shot. </p>

    The fan, who has since been identified and banned by Celtic for life, ran onto the pitch and made contact with Dida, who proceeded to briefly give chase before collapsing to the ground. </p>

    He was eventually substituted, with Australian Zeljko Kalac replacing him. </p>

    If Dida's ban stands, he will miss the Champions League double-header with Group D leaders Shaktar Donestk. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>

    Have Celtic been forced to play games "behind closed doors"? nt
