Celtic Fined for Fans' Fireworks at Games

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has strongly criticized fans who use pyrotechnics at games, asserting that they show a lack of care for the club. Following a UEFA fine of £16,700 for fireworks lit by supporters during a Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, Celtic faces a suspended ban on selling away tickets for future matches if such incidents continue. Rodgers expressed concern that a ban would unfairly affect dedicated fans and emphasized that the club does not need pyrotechnics to demonstrate support. He urged fans to refrain from using fireworks inside the stadium, as it jeopardizes the team's ability to travel with their supporters. Rodgers called for an end to this behavior, stating it reflects poorly on the club and its passionate fan base. He reinforced that the incredible atmosphere created by Celtic supporters does not require fireworks.
