Celtic Fans Face UEFA Ban After Villa Incident

Celtic fans face the possibility of being banned from attending the away leg of their upcoming Champions League tie against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich due to incidents during a recent match against Aston Villa. UEFA is set to investigate after a smoke bomb was thrown onto the pitch and pyrotechnics were used by Celtic supporters, an action that previously led to a suspended ban after a similar incident during a match against Borussia Dortmund. The governing body will review the match report by delegate Adrian Casha before deciding on any penalties. Despite the off-field issues, Celtic secured 21st place in the league format and are set for a high-profile play-off. Manager Brendan Rodgers expressed pride in his team's performance against Aston Villa and focused on football rather than the potential fan ban. The decision on fan attendance will be crucial as Celtic prepares for a challenging tie in the Champions League round of 16.
