A CELTIC fan had to be hauled off an EasyJet flight after brawling with cops and airline staff.
The aircraft left Edinburgh yesterday taking holidaymakers to Antalaya in Turkey.
But the flight crew had to call in cops after an aggressive passenger kicked off.
Turkish officers boarded the aircraft as staff tried to deal with the Hoops-clad thug.
Footage taken on board the plane shows the passenger throwing punches as cabin crew desperately try to restrain him.
He then appears to scream at other passengers and calls one a “f*****g f***y” as he continues to struggle with female flight attendants.
The lout then appears to punch one of the police officers in front of shocked passengers and children.
Other passengers intervened to try as the passenger then threw more punches at cops.
The police managed to restrain the violent man and haul him off the aircraft.
He yelled IRA chants as the officers hauled him off the plane.
