CELTIC have been hit with another whopping Uefa fine over the actions of their supporters in the recent Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid at Parkhead.

The Hoops drew 2-2 on a night where thousands of fans flew Palestine flags amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Celtic chiefs asked their fans NOT to display flags and banners relating to the conflict in the Middle East during the clash.

But we told you how images on the night showed a banner supporting the colours of a notorious terrorist group was spotted amid the ultras group on the night.

The Green Brigade ultras held up the red flag and logo of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine after defying the club with a giant Palestine display.

And now Uefa have taken action, hitting the Hoops with a total fine of £25,000 from the game – including £15,000 for “provocative message of an offensive nature”.

They incurred charges in each of their first three group games, with the other charges relating to “the blocking of public passageways” (£6,900) and “lighting of fireworks” (£3,000).

Atletico were also fined £2,600 for “lighting of fireworks” and been warned over the “Improper conduct of the team (5 players or more)” in the same game.
