UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic for the behaviour of fans during Tuesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City.
The Hoops ended their European campaign with a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium but could now face sanctions, as they face two charges from European football's governing body.
It was confirmed by UEFA on Wednesday that Celtic have been charged with breaching two disciplinary regulations, for setting off fireworks and crowd disturbances.
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on 23 February 2017.
This is the second time this season that Celtic have been faced with UEFA charges, after being fined around £8,600 in September for fans waving Palestine flags during a Champions League qualifier against Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
