Noticed that there wasn't a post up on this, thought that one of the Celtic fans may have wanted everyone to know this

Taken from Sky Sports

Celtic have been fined £420 by Uefa following bottle-throwing incidents during their Champions League match against Milan at the San Siro.

The Bhoys had fought the Uefa action and are now considering an appeal.

They claimed they should not be held liable as the two empty bottles - neither of which reached the pitch - came from a part of the stadium which was not officially allocated to Celtic fans.

Uefa opted to impose the fine after a meeting of their disciplinary body.

"The club still awaits formal written confirmation from Uefa. However, the fine of 1000 Swiss francs (£420) says it all," said a Celtic spokesman.

"Not withstanding this, we are disappointed and may consider an appeal once we have seen the detail.

"We would like to add that, given the last-minute changes to arrangements for the match in Milan, the supporters were once again magnificent."

Not a large fine, but the self proclaimed 'GFITW' have received a punishment from UEFA, no doubt it would have been worse if people were singing songs

I said that it wasn't a great amount of money for a fine, just updating on UEFA issuing a fine, whenever anything negative about Rangers comes out it seems to be put on the board by a Celtic fan

I even waited a day to post it
