UEFA delay Celtic fans decision

UEFA has delayed its hearing into alleged misbehaviour by Celtic fans during their Europa League match against Udinese in Italy last month.

European football’s governing body charged Celtic with “the displaying of an offensive banner and setting off of fireworks by fans” in the match on 15 December.

Uefa’s Control and Disciplinary Body was due to hear the case on Thursday but the hearing has been postponed until 24 February.

Celtic banned a fan for life who they said was responsible for displaying the banner and attacking a steward.

In December, Celtic were fined for “illicit chanting” by fans in a Europa League home game against Rennes.
