UEFA hasΒ opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after "illicit banners" wereΒ displayed by their fans in the 5-2 win overΒ Hapoel Be’er Sheva on Wednesday.

Around 100Β PalestinianΒ flags were held up by supportersΒ in the new safe-standing area at Celtic Park prior to the Champions League play-off first-leg tie against the Israeli side.

UEFA forbids political expressions in football and on Friday confirmed Celtic had breached Article 16 (2) of their disciplinary regulations.


It is the second time the Scottish champions have been charged by UEFA for the waving of Palestinian flags,Β the first coming in July 2014 during a game against KR Reykjavik.

TheΒ case will be dealt with by the governing body'sΒ Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on September 22.
