Celtic followers will be capable to attend the second leg of their Champions League play-off spherical tie away to Bayern Munich after being handed a UEFA reprieve. The Scottish champions feared supporters could be banned after a inexperienced smoke bomb was thrown onto the pitch from visiting followers throughout Celtic’s 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa final month. Celtic had acquired a suspended one-match ban on promoting tickets for travelling followers after a pyrotechnic show of their 7-1 Champions League thrashing by Borussia Dortmund in September.
However, they’ve escaped with a high quality of 10,000 euros ($10,400, £8,340) for the lighting of fireworks and throwing of objects.
“As we had mentioned beforehand, Celtic made each effort to make sure that our followers may attend this match, and we’re happy that UEFA has thought-about our detailed submission,” Celtic mentioned in an announcement.
“We can even affirm that the unique suspended sentence stays in place, on account of the earlier use of pyrotechnics, most not too long ago on the match towards Borussia Dortmund, by a small minority of supporters.
“Again we should make it very clear that pyrotechnics have completely no place at our matches and may additional incidents happen, then clearly, as soon as once more, there’s a particularly excessive danger of our supporters not being permitted entry to future matches.”
