Celtic fined £10,000 for European ill-discipline

UEFA have fined Celtic £10,000 as a result of fan and player behaviour in this season’s Europa League.

Celtic were charged for incidents stemming from the final game of the group stages against Fenerbahce in December.

A meeting to discuss the charge of improper conduct by the players and fans was supposed to go ahead last Thursday night, however it was postponed.

Ronny Deila’s side drew 1-1 in Turkey but received five bookings in the game. Kieran Tierney, Jozo Simunovic, Mikael Lustig, Stefan Johansen and Dedryck Boyata were all cautioned on the night that saw them exit the competition without a win and just three points in Group A.

The Hoops have been fined eight times in the last five years for the behaviour of fans in the stands and most recently for the use of pyrotechnics against Fenerbahce.

In last season’s campaign, Celtic were also fined £6,000 for having six players booked including a sending off for Virgil van Dijk against Inter Milan in the second leg tie at the San Siro.
