Scots sex beast who called himself "Paedo Dave" unmasked as sick Celtic fan who mocked Rangers legend over national tragedy

A Scottish sex beast who called himself "Paedo Dave" online can now be unmasked as a sick Celtic fan who mocked an American Rangers legend over the 911 disaster.

David Munro was caged earlier this year for the latest in a number of child sex offences.

And it can now be revealed that the 56-year-old was given an indefinite ban from Celtic Park - because he mocked Claudio Reyna during an Old Firm clash.

Munro made airplane gestures to midfielder Reyna, who won an SPL title and Scottish Cup in his 18 months at Ibrox, back in 2001, just months after the terror attacks.

Munro was captured on Sky Sports cameras making a gesture with his arms outstretched and swaying from side to side, appearing to mimic an aeroplane.

He made the gesture yards away from Reyna, who was preparing to take a corner in the Ibrox match, which Martin O'Neill's Celtic won 2-0.

Munro, who was 32 at the time, denied he had been referencing the atrocities, which saw nearly 3,000 people dying after four planes were hijacked.

Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Centre in New York, one crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC, and one crashed in a field after passengers revolted.

Munro claimed he had been emulating the celebration of then-Celtic striker Henrik Larsson.

But the club took action against him and banned him from Parkhead indefinitely.

Then-Celtic chief executive Ian McLeod said at the time: "Following a thorough investigation into events at last weekend's match at Ibrox, Celtic Football Club has taken the decision to ban David Munro indefinitely from Celtic Park with immediate effect.

"The club has considered all aspects of the incident and taken evidence from both the individual in question and a number of others who attended the match.

"Having taken all information into account it is clear that Mr Munro was responsible for highly inappropriate conduct which has in turn brought Celtic Football Club into disrepute.

"At every opportunity we will strive to ensure that the proud name and traditions of Celtic Football Club are upheld.

"If this means excluding people from Celtic Park, then we will not hesitate to take this course of action.

"It is most unfortunate and unfair that the excellent reputation of the majority may have been tarnished by the minority but I would reiterate to all decent Celtic supporters that we will continue to work, at all times, to ensure that the club's proud tradition and good name are upheld."

Munro refused to comment on the ban at the time, but said at the time of the incident: "It's been blown out of all proportion. I lost the plot for a moment and did something I shouldn't have done.

"It was a pure moment of madness - the Celtic fans around me cracked up and it was only afterwards I realised, and I thought 'what have I done?', and I apologised to the fans around me.

"Henrik Larsson celebrates like that. It was nothing to do with America. I didn't realise Reyna was taking the corner."  

Earlier this year Munro was made the subject of a four-year extended sentence after sending child abuse images to an undercover cop.

He was the subject of a court order which was supposed to stop him committing sex offences but used Russian websites to send child abuse images to what he thought was another paedophile.

Munro, of Johnstone, Renfrewshire, was jailed for similar offences in 2023 and 2018.
