Celtic have launched a 'full investigation' into alleged racist abuse suffered by Boli Bolingoli during last night's AIK clash.
Bolingoli was 'targeted' by fans in the home section of the Swedish stadium for vile abuse as he and his Hoops teammates celebrated a goal in their 4-1 Europa League win.
Footage emerged on Celtic TV's social media channel but audio was not removed.

One supporter can then clearly be heard on the tape hurling abuse at the players on the pitch.
And one racist slur is believed to have been aimed at Bolingoli.
Apologies for the bad language heard from the home fans in the previous video post. This video has now been removed.

Now Celtic have confirmed they are looking into the matter and will investigate.
A spokesman for the Hoops said: "We are investigating this matter fully."

It comes as violent scenes in the away end of the match on Thursday evening marred Celtic's good result.
Fans were attacked by Swedish cops with batons while flares were also lit during the match.
