CELTIC chief executive Peter Lawwell has demanded fans leave their political views at home after UEFA began disciplinary action against the club over an "illicit banner".
The club face a fine over a display which featured banners of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands along with a set of lyrics during their 3-0 Champions League defeat by AC Milan on Tuesday night. The banners, which were displayed in the section housed by the Green Brigade group of fans, read: "The terrorist or the dreamer, the savage or the brave, depends whose vote you're trying to catch or whose face you're trying to save."
The club vowed to ban any supporter involved in a political display.
