JAKARTA - The European Union Football Association (UEFA) immediately took firm steps to follow up on the disciplinary process against the Celtic club. This follows the spread of anti-markey banners in the Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday, September 14.
In the match taking place at the Polish Army Stadium, Celtic supporters were caught unfurling banners that read 'F*** the Crown'.
Meanwhile, another banner reads 'Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan'. The post refers to intruders entering Buckingham Queen Palace bedroom in 1982.
"The process has been opened against the Celtic FC regarding banners displayed during the UEFA Champions League match against FC Shakhtar Donetsk which was played on September 14 in Warsaw," UEFA said in a statement, as quoted by the Telegraph.
"The UEFA Disciplinary Agency will soon decide on this issue in due course," the statement added.
In addition to the Celtic, UEFA also gave a warning to the Rangers club following the singing of the song God Save The King before the Champions League match against Napoli on Wednesday, September 14.
Unlike the Celtic, UEFA stated that Rangers would not be subject to disciplinary punishment for the song God Save The King. UEFA only issued instructions so that the song would not be sung again before the match against problem United this weekend.
"This incident (which the Rangers club is doing) is not the subject of the UEFA disciplinary process," said a spokesman.
