CELTIC fans are facing a Uefa sweat ahead of their Champions League play-off clash with either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
An incident at Villa Park during their final league-phase clash could see the Scottish champions land in hot water and hit with a one-match ban for away supporters after the warning from Europe‘s governing body earlier this season.
The flashpoint occurred when Adam Idah pulled a goal back for Celts to make it 2-1 after falling two goals behind after just five minutes.
A smoke bomb was launched onto the pitch from the Celtic section of the stadium during the wild celebrations.
The Hoops were fined by Uefa in October for their fans’ actions during their clash with Borussia Dortmund.
A warning issued to supporters stated they could be handed a ban from attending away matches if there was another incident in the next two years.
Now they will be looking into this latest incident just three months on.
It’s unclear whether it’ll be included in the delegate’s report and lead to a ban, but the club now face an anxious wait to discover the outcome.
Asked about the flashpoint at full-time, Brendan Rodgers replied: “I’m not even thinking about that, I’m just thinking about football.”
Rodgers will hope to have his side’s full away backing when they head to either Munich or Madrid next month.
Celtic will find out they will face after the play-off draw takes place on Friday.
The Hoops are unseeded for the draw so the first game will be played at home, with the second leg away.
The first leg will take place either February 11 or 12, with the return game pencilled in for the following week on February 18 or 19.
