The BBC describes Desmond as Celtic’s majority shareholder and links the incident to a protest attributed to the club’s supporters.
According to the broadcaster’s account, the setting was the Alfred Dunhill Links tournament, held at St Andrews.
The same source reports that tennis balls were thrown toward Desmond during the protest.
The available information does not identify the people involved in the protest and does not specify the reason for the action beyond its connection with Celtic fans.
Nor, based on the material provided, have any arrests or injuries been established. The date of October 3, 2026, refers to the publication of the BBC report and does not independently make it possible to determine the day of the protest.
The incident, as reported by the BBC, therefore links a Celtic-related protest to a golf tournament held at St Andrews, with Desmond identified as the target of the action.
