Repeat offenders

European soccer's ruling body said in a statement on Wednesday that the case would be dealt with on Feb. 23. It is the second time this season that the Glasgow club have been in trouble with UEFA.

Celtic were fined 10,000 euros after fans displayed Palestinian flags during a Champions League match against Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva in August.
