Celtic have been fined by UEFA over a banner displayed by their fans during the Europa League match against Ferencvaros on 19 October.

The anti-UEFA banner was described as "provocative and offensive" by the organisation's control ethics and disciplinary body and the club have been fined 15,000 euro.

The banner, which depicted the TV show Countdown and included the letters FCUKUFEA, was seen as a criticism of the decision to schedule the match as a 3.30pm kick-off to avoid a clash with Champions League games being played later that evening.

Underneath the main banner was a second one which read: "Conundrum clue: Fans before TV."
