Hajduk Split have been fined £45,000 and ordered to play their next Europa League home game in an empty stadium after allegations of racist chants from a section of their support.

UEFA's decision means the Stadion Poljud will be empty when Hajduk host Brondby on August 3 in the second leg of their third qualifying round tie - the first leg takes place in Denmark next Thursday.

The racist behaviour was identified during Hajduk's 1-0 win over Levski Sofia in the second qualifying round last week.
