Celtic have been by governing body UEFA due to the banner on display in the Europa League tie against Ferencvaros.

As reported by STV, the club has been fined £12,500 over an anti-UEFA banner that was described as ‘provocative and offensive’.

The banner in question was in response to the Hoops fixture against European opponents Ferencvaros due to the kick-off time being at 3:30 PM on Tuesday the 19th of October.

This was due to the up-and-coming COP26 Conference at the time, as well as Champions League games being televised the same evening and the following night.

Of course, Celtic fans were still able to go the extra mile and provide a full house stadium in the 2-0 victory over the Hungarian Champions.

However, that does not take away from the fact that UEFA put money before supporters once again.

It isn’t anything new or surprising, considering how much of the governing bodies focus is on money rather than those who watch the game on a weekly basis.
