Rangers and Celtic fined by UEFA for Europa League misdemeanours

Rangers and Celtic have both been handed fines following their Europa League misdemeanours.

Neil Lennon's side have been punished for the late kick off of their match in Denmark against FC Copenhagen, while Steven Gerrard's men have received punishment for misbehaviour from fans in their matches against Braga and Bayer Leverkusen.

Celtic drew 1-1 in the first leg against Copenhagen, before being beaten 3-1 at Celtic Park. Rangers came from behind to beat Braga 3-2 in their first leg before winning 1-0 in Portugal.

They lost the first leg against Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 at Ibrox, with the second leg postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The clubs' punishments are as follows:

Copenhagen v CELTIC

Celtic fined €15,500 (£13,758) for late kick-off. Neil Lennon censured

RANGERS v Braga

Rangers fined €15,200 (£13,492) for a fan invading the pitch and for fireworks.

RANGERS v Bayer Leverkusen

Rangers fined €5250 (£4,660) for objects thrown.

The Ibrox side had been due to play the second leg of their last-16 tie against the Bundesliga side in the BayArena on March 26th.

No date has yet been arranged for the fixture.
