Glasgow giants Celtic have received a fine over an anti-monarchy banner displayed during a Champions League game in Poland.
The incident occurred less than a week after the passing of Queen Elizabeth the second, with the Scottish outfit fined €15,000 as a result.

The Hoops' were facing off against Ukrainian powerhouse Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland on September 14th, and various banners were spotted amongst their partisan support.
One banner read ‘F*** the crown’, and another ‘Sorry For Your Loss Michael Fagan,’ a reference to the man who broke into the Queen’s bedroom in 1982.
UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body said it was "a message not fit for a sporting event".
Celtic have also been fined €4,250 for lighting fireworks at a game against Real Madrid on September 6th in Glasgow.
A period of silence will be held at Parkhead tonight before their Champions League game with RB Leipzig in memory of those who tragically lost their lives in Creeslough, County Donegal last Friday.
