Celtic land another bumper UEFA fine for Lazio pyro and 'offensive' banner after Green Brigade defy club plea

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celtic have been slapped with a €23,500 fine by UEFA for the display against Lazio - following the Parkhead club being punished for fireworks in the away clash with Feyenoord.

The Hoops copped a €23,400 fine for letting off flares in last month’s Champions League clash with Feyenoord in De Kuip - and UEFA have punished the Scottish Premiership champions for their use of pyro as well as their "offensive" banner display before their eventual 2-1 defeat to the Italian giants.

The club have been fined €3,500 for the fireworks and €20,000 over the banner that was unveiled by the Green Brigade. Before the clash with the Serie A side at Celtic Park, Celtic had pleaded with fans not to set off pyrotechnics amid rising fines.

Celtic – along with numerous clubs around the continent – have been hit by several fines over the past 10 years totalling up to more than £250,000 for pyro and banners.Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.You can also sign up to our dedicated Rangers and Celtic newsletters and follow the Rangers and Celtic podcast pages to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
