TWO Celtic fans have been "indefinitely suspended" following a flares incident.
The club confirmed that two individuals have been banned from attending all Celtic's matches, home and away as part of the club's ongoing investigation into the recent match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul and the use of flares within the stadium.
The club said there had been calls for a civil action to be raised in relation to recovering any fines imposed and that it was something they would consider.
A statement on the club's website said: "Celtic has repeatedly stated its strong opposition to the use of flares but regrettably again, a very small number of individuals have damaged the club they claim to support, resulting in a further UEFA charge.
"Celtic supporters travel in their thousands to European matches and the Club is always grateful and proud to have such a magnificent following from fans who have earned such a wonderful reputation.
"However, we cannot allow the Club and our supporters to be damaged reputationally or financially any more, by a handful of individuals.
"While we await UEFA’s determination, we have been inundated with support from Celtic fans who want an end to this activity and, like the Club, do not want those responsible associated with Celtic in any way."
