Celtic show maturity but smoke bomb puts their fans under a cloud | Ewan Murray

Players showed they are no longer European cannon fodder but fans’ actions at Villa Park could trigger a ban on them travelling abroadAs meaningful Champions League progress arrives, the pity for Celtic’s supporters is that they may be denied the chance to see their team compete in the flesh at that stage.Uefa issued a suspended ban on Celtic selling tickets for an away fixture in Europe in response to the lighting of fireworks during the hammering at Borussia Dortmund. Should Uefa deem a smoke bomb, tossed on to the Villa Park playing surface during celebrations for Adam Idah’s first goal, triggers that sanction then no Celtic fans will travel to Munich or Madrid next month. Ouch. So much depends on the report submitted by Adrian Casha, Uefa’s delegate at this game. Celtic are praying for leniency.
