CELTIC have been hit with a €7000 fine from UEFA after fans let off fireworks and invaded the pitch during their victory over Jablonec in the qualfying rounds of the Europa League.

European football's governing body charged the Glasgow club under article 16 and have handed out the punishment following a meeting of the control, ethics and disciplinary board.

The Premiership runners-up were sanctioned €5000 for the pitch invasion and a further €2000 was tacked on after fireworks were set off inside Celtic Park.

Meanwhile, St Johnstone have also landed in hot water with UEFA and have their own fine to pay - and have been ordered to close a section of McDiarmid Park for Thursday's Europa Conference League play-off against LASK.

The Perth club have been fined €3000 after pyrotechnics were set off during their Europa League qualifier against Galatsaray earlier this month, and a small section of the East Stand has been closed for the upcoming European clash.

A statement from the club read: "As we prepare for the biggest game in the club’s history at another packed out McDiarmid Park, the club would like to clarify the issues surrounding a small section in the East Stand.

"The visual display organised by a group of our supporters and the subsequent fantastic atmosphere generated against Galatasaray was a credit to those involved and the Club sincerely thanks them for their hard work.

"Unfortunately, at the recent game against Galatasaray, a small minority of fans within this section acted in a manner that put themselves and other supporters at risk by climbing on the adjacent wall.

"Supporter safety is paramount to the Football Club. So therefore, with this in mind, we have taken the decision to close off a small number of seats which can be seen in the image below.

Glasgow Times:

"Further to this, there was also a pyrotechnic device set off within this same section by an individual which has resulted in St Johnstone football club being fined by UEFA. Once again, we would urge supporters to refrain from such inappropriate and dangerous conduct.

"The club would like to make it absolutely clear that no person or party are banned from attending Thursday's match against LASK.

"The club has also opened dialogue with the affected seat members of this section to ensure that both parties can work together going forwards.

"Let’s all pull together, support the club in the right way and give everyone a night to remember."
