Celtic could have no fans in Munich over Uefa charge
Celtic could have no supporters at their Champions League play-off second leg at Bayern Munich after the club received another disciplinary notice from European football's governing body Uefa.
A smoke bomb was thrown on to the pitch during Wednesday's game away to Aston Villa.
Celtic were given a suspended ban on selling tickets to away fans following the use of pyrotechnics during their match against Borussia Dortmund in October.
In a statement confirming the latest charge, Celtic said: "The club will obviously make robust representations to Uefa and will make every effort to ensure that our fans can attend our next Champions League match.
"However, clearly there is a risk that supporters may not be able to attend.
"In light of this situation, it is incumbent on the club to make supporters aware of this risk, when considering making arrangements for travel, until further information is provided by Uefa."
If Celtic are found guilty, the suspended sentence of a one-match ban for their away fans will be automatically imposed.
There could also be further punishment, but that will be determined by Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body - with an outcome unlikely until next week.
Uefa is also likely to investigate banners and chanting from the match in Birmingham.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was asked about the implications of the smoke bomb after the game but refused to be drawn on the subject.
The Scottish champions were already assured of a place in the play-off stage of the new Champions League format before their 4-2 defeat against Villa.
Celtic were drawn against Bayern on Friday, with the second leg at Allianz Arena on 18 or 19 February after a first leg in Glasgow the previous week.
