# Celtic: Fans shrug off news of latest UEFA sanction

**Celtic have once again fallen foul of UEFA, with European football’s governing body yesterday handing down yet another financial punishment to the Parkhead club.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”267636″\]

As reported by [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5074734/celtic-fine-13000-lazio-europa-league-rome/), the Hoops have been fined €16,000 (£13,000) after some of their supporters set off fireworks at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome during last month’s 2-1 win away to Lazio in the Europa League.

According to [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5074734/celtic-fine-13000-lazio-europa-league-rome/), this is the 20th time in the last 12 years that Celtic have been administered with a fine by UEFA over the misconduct of some supporters and the third financial penalty handed down to them since the start of the season.

The Hoops were also fined £11,000 over the lighting of flares and throwing of objects during the Europa League play-off win away to AIK in August (as per [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4737752/celtic-fined-uefa-flares-aik/)), as well as being given a £13,000 fine over the use of offensive banners and chanting during the home win against Lazio in October (via [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4978582/celtic-fine-uefa-banners-chants-lazio/)).

These Celtic fans on Twitter seemed unperturbed by the latest fine from UEFA, with one joking that it was “another treble” for the Hoops after their [annexing of all three major Scottish competitions](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/26/celtics-treble-treble-success-opens-comparisons-debate/) in each of the past three seasons:
