Celtic supporters mock Fenerbahce fans' 'knife' pics

A Celtic supporter holds a spoon in response to Fenerbahce 'threats' ()

Celtic supporters have responded to threatening pictures from Fenerbahce fans in hilarious fashion.

Thursday's Europa League draw pitted Celtic with Molde, Ajax and Turkish giants Fenerbahce in Group A.

Straight after the draw, Fenerbahce supporters posted pictures of themselves wielding knives, in an attempt to scare the Celtic supporters for when they travel to Istanbul for the match later on this year.

The original tweet by Fenerbahce hooligans:

How Celtic responded:

Those 'weapons' including spoons, bananas, toothbrushes, and a hoover.
