UEFA have hit Celtic's Europa League rivals Lazio with a partial stadium closure over their supporters' fascist salutes.
The Serie A giants will have to close part of the Stadio Olimpico for their next Europa League match which is against Rennes .
It comes after a section of their ultras were found guilty of making the gestures during their defeat to Sevilla in the last 32 of the competition last season.
Celtic face Lazio in a double in a double-header in October and November as they attempt to get through to the next round of the competition.
Simone Inzaghi's side are already playing catch-up after a shock 2-1 defeat on the opening game against Cluj in Romania and they face Rennes, who drew 1-1 with Celtic, next in Rome.
The Rome club had appealed the charge over the fascist salutes but lost the case.
Now Lazio chiefs have confirmed they will close the south east section of the stadium and they have also been ordered to put up UEFA banners in the empty section.
However, it's unlikely to pose much of a setback for the Italian giants, who are used to playing in their empty home stadium in Europe
Last season, in their four Europa League game, Lazio averaged just 16,155 as attendances in their 70,634-capacity stadium.
And Celtic look set to receive a bumper allocation when the sides meet in November.
Lazio have long been hampered by a fascist element among their support. Former Celtic star Paolo Di Canio caused a controversy with a fascist salute while playing for the club in 2005. He was later fined.
