Celtic fans will be able to attend the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich in Germany after being handed a UEFA reprieve.
The Scottish champions were on a suspended ban on away supporters when they were hit with a disciplinary notice after a green smoke canister was thrown from among the visiting fans during Celtic’s 4-2 defeat at Villa Park last month.
However, they have escaped with a fine following a decision from UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body.
The club have received a fine of 10,000 euros (£8,340) for the lighting of fireworks and throwing of objects.

Celtic had received double the fine and a one-match ban on selling tickets for travelling fans – which was suspended for two years – after a major pyrotechnic display in their Champions League encounter with Borussia Dortmund in September.
They warned supporters after the latest disciplinary notice that there was a risk of an away fans ban in the second leg of their knockout stage play-off tie at the Allianz Arena on February 18 but promised to make “robust representations to UEFA”.
