CELTIC have been issued a UEFA fine over an anti-monarchy banner displayed ahead of the Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.

A banner which read 'F*** the Crown' was draped from the away enclosure at the Champions League fixture.

Another banner displayed by travelling supporters read 'Sorry for your loss, Michael Fagan'.

The displays came as Celtic players wore black armbands as a mark of respect - but UEFA confirmed no minute's silence would be held in the first match back after the death of Queen Elizabeth.

Domestic fixtures had been called off but European fixtures were given the green light to be played.

UEFA have now dealt the club a £13,000 (€15,000) fine over the displays.

The governing body decision brands the display as containing a "message not fit for a sports event (i.e. provocative banner)".

The fine has been issued under Article 16(2)(e) DR of the UEFA regulations.

It comes as the club were also fined after fireworks were set off in the opening group stage match against Real Madrid at Celtic Park.
