Celtic, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Basel fined after UEFA charges proven
Monday 23 October 2017 13:39, UK
Celtic have been fined £8,900 over a pitch invasion during their Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain last month.
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body confirmed the sanction on Monday morning, with the French side fined £4,450 after seats in their section at Celtic Park were broken during the same match on September 12.
John Hatton, a Celtic supporter, ran on to the playing surface and aimed a kick at PSG striker Kylian Mbappe during Celtic's 5-0 defeat at the hands of the French side.
Hatton was later sentenced to community service after admitting assault and behaviour likely to incite public disorder during an appearance at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The fine takes Celtic past £150,000 in sanctions for supporter behaviour in the last six years and it is the fourth time they have been fined by UEFA since the start of the 2016-17 season.
The governing body also revealed Basel had been fined £10,700 after fans set off fireworks during their clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on the same day.
