NEW Celtic signing Chris Sutton was yesterday found guilty of spitting in the face of a Manchester United fan during a night out with friends, and ordered to pay a total of #700, at Horseferry Road Magistrates Court in central London.
The striker, who yesterday completed his £6m move from Chelsea, was found guilty of two counts of common assault
Stipendiary Magistrate Susan Staveley said she found both charges proved because ''there was total consistency in evidence'' against Sutton, and ordered the player to pay fines of #300, costs of #200 and #200 compensation to his victim, trainee barrister Richard Partridge.
The incident happened last October, when Sutton and nine friends went to the Mezzo restaurant in Soho to celebrate his wife Samantha's 26th birthday. The court was told that as the party left the venue at 3am Sutton, 27, of Sarratt, Hertfordshire, bumped into Ms Helen McNamara, 23.
