LARRY Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after for "crowd disturbances" during their match with Dinamo Zagreb.The matter will be dealt with by UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on February 19, 2015.It is the fifth time within the last three years Celtic have been hit with charges because of the behaviour of their supporters during European matches.After the most recent incident - the unfurling of an "illicit" banner at a Champions League match with AC Milan in 2013 which resulted in a £42,000 fine - the club's chief executive Peter Lawwell condemned the "small minority" of supporters who were "damaging the reputation" of Celtic.A £4,221 was handed down earlier that year after fireworks were set off by supporters during their Champions League qualifier with Cliftonville.The club's fans also caused them to be fined twice during their Europa League campaign in the 2011/12 season.In March 2012, UEFA fined Celtic £21,000 after supporters displayed an offensive banner and set off flares during an away game with Udinese.Celtic were also fined £13,000 for "illicit chanting" in the same competition during a match with Rennes in 2011.Given the high volume of supporter-related incidents, Celtic now run the risk of a more severe sanction over and above a financial penalty.Potential sanctions include future matches being played in a partially or fully closed stadium or a ban being placed on supporters from travelling to a number of future away matches in Europe.

mgm Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Rangers are understood to have argued that McGregor did not leave the club under the terms of the pre-agreed contract with Alexander because he moved under TUPE regulations between the oldco and newco firms. But I thought they were the same club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
