Fists were flying on a flight from Scotland to Turkey in a terrifying scene caught on video and shared to social media.

An unruly soccer fan wearing a Celtic shirt can be seen beating up Turkish police and female airline crew members after an empty bottle of vodka was allegedly found on the plane.

“The issues with the guy started to build up throughout the flight,” one passenger told Britain’s Daily Record.

The Easyjet flight landed at Antalya Airport on Saturday night. The man tried to barge past the flight crew while they attempted to keep him in his seat.

The video also shows the irate passenger pointing at another person on the flight and calling them a “f—ing f—y.”

He then appears to punch Turkish cops called in to quell the outburst, while also landing strikes on female airline staff.

Other passengers jumped in while attempting to get the chaos under control.

The man then falls to the ground and appears to punch a person on the plane’s floor while passengers could be heard screaming.

“Before it all kicked off, an air hostess had to hold him down for a good 20 minutes,” the passenger said, adding flight staff found an empty bottle of vodka.

“There was a cheer at the front of the plane when someone found out the (Celtic) result. Another boy told the guy that he was a disgrace to the (Celtic) top, and that’s when he just lost it.”
