CELTIC fans heading to Lisbon for Tuesday's Champions League tie breathed a sigh of relief when it emerged the game won't be played behind closed doors.

Benfica face this sanction after their fans fired flares at last week's game against Spartak Moscow.

They have been fined €40,000 for the same offence during the match against Barcelona last month.

But the hearing into this latest offence will not take place until December 13.
