Celtic fined by UEFA over 'provocative and offensive' banner

The banner criticised European football's governing body over match scheduling.

Celtic have been fined by governing body UEFA over a banner displayed by fans during their Europa League match against Ferencvaros.

The anti-UEFA banner was described as “provocative and offensive” by the organisation’s control ethics and disciplinary body (CEDB) and the club have been fined £12,500.

The banner was seen as a criticism of the decision to schedule the match as a 3.30pm kick-off on Tuesday, October 19 to avoid a clash with Champions League games being played later that evening.

Underneath the main banner was a second one which read: “Conundrum clue: Fans before TV”.
