Celtic have been slapped with yet another UEFA fine following their Europa League win over Jablonec.
The former Scottish Premiership champions have been forced to fork out €7,000 after supporters let off fireworks and entered the field of play against the Czech outfit.
Ange Postecoglou’s side won the first leg 4-2 before cruising to a 3-0 victory at Celtic Park on 12 August.
A David Turnbull double before James Forrest’ strike ensured a play-off round encounter against AZ Alkmaar.
But it’s come at a financial cost after the European football governing body issued a financial penalty for fan behaviour.
Their control, ethics and disciplinary body have imposed a €5000 fine for the invasion topped up with a €2000 fine for setting off fireworks.
Celtic have been fined before due to displaying certain flags and banners as well as using pyrotechnics.
