Celtic Fans Allowed at Bayern Munich Match, UEFA Fines €10,000

Celtic fans will be allowed to attend their upcoming Champions League match against Bayern Munich, despite recent disciplinary actions from UEFA due to the use of pyrotechnics during matches. After supporters set off fireworks during a defeat against Aston Villa, UEFA decided to impose a €10,000 fine rather than a ban on attending away games, providing short-term relief for fans. However, Celtic remains under a suspended ban from issuing away tickets, with further incidents possibly leading to stricter penalties. Manager Brendan Rodgers expressed concern that his warnings about fan behavior may not resonate with supporters, emphasizing the need for responsible conduct to maintain the club's reputation. The club's statement reiterated that pyrotechnics have no place in matches and warned of severe consequences for future breaches. As Celtic prepares for their knockout stage match, ticket prices and travel costs for fans have surged significantly due to high demand.
