# Celtic: Fans react nonchalantly to club being fined by UEFA over incidents against AIK

**Celtic have been fined by UEFA for setting off fireworks and throwing objects during their 4-1 win over AIK in the Europa League play-offs last month.**

[UEFA.com](https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/disciplinary/) specified that the Hoops were fined €12,500 (£11,041) by its Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body relating to those two charges of fan misconduct in Sweden, with [Clyde 1 Superscoreboard](https://twitter.com/ClydeSSB) on Twitter notifying followers of the news via [@ClydeSSB](https://twitter.com/ClydeSSB/status/1175078796338368512).

AIK were also fined €8,000 (£7,066) for stairways being blocked, as specified by [UEFA.com](https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/disciplinary/).

The Scottish champions have had a history of falling foul of European football’s governing body, with [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49774855) reporting that this is the 17th time since 2007 that Celtic have been fined by UEFA.

The Hoops were [last punished in similar fashion](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49774855) two years ago when a spectator ran onto the pitch at Celtic Park during a Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and tried to kick Kylian Mbappe, for which the club were fined €10,000 (£8,900) as reported by [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41720941).

These Celtic fans on Twitter did not seem overly bothered by the latest fine handed down to the club over the misconduct of some supporters:
