Celtic and St Johnstone have been fined by UEFA after fans of both clubs displayed Palestinian flags during recent European matches.

Scottish champions Celtic have been hit with a £14,300 penalty after a banner was unfurled during their Champions League qualifier against KR Reykjavik at Celtic Park.

Meanwhile, St Johnston have been fined £15,900 following an incident during their Europa League qualifier versus Spartak Trnava at McDiarmid Park.

UEFA punished the clubs for "the use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature".
