Celtic face an away fan ban at Bayern Munich in the Champions League after the latest charge from UEFA.
UEFA have charged Celtic again for fans’ use of pyro in the Bhoys’ defeat at Aston Villa and it looks like the European body is set to take action against the club.
Celtic have felt the wrath of UEFA before after being fined €20,000 and given a suspended one-game away fan ban after Hoops supporters used pyro in the defeat to Borussia Dortmund back in October.
And now, after Celtic drew Bayern Munich in the knockout phase of the Champions League, the Bundesliga giant has sent a message to any Celtic fan thinking of travelling to Munich for the big game on the 18th of February.
Bayern Munich’s stern warning to Celtic fans ahead of Champions League tie at the Allianz Arena
Celtic fans are world-renowned for the passion they have for following their club all around Europe. No doubt many will travel to Germany even if UEFA does decide to put a blanket ban on the biggest fixture of the season.
And it seems Bayern are well aware of that after sending the Celtic supporters a warning ahead of the big Champions League tie at the Allianz Arena.
In a message posted on Bayern Munich’s official website, the Bundesliga club said, “Fans from opposing team country (are) not permitted, as per club guidelines – away fans will be ejected without compensation.”
How many clubs that have already been affected by UEFA fan ban as Celtic await verdict
UEFA have not been shy in applying their rules when it comes to tackling pyro use over the last few years.
The European governing body has already dished out this punishment to many member clubs and coutries and it seems like Celtic is certainly going to be next.
