Celtic charged by UEFA after Palestine flags waved during Hapoel Be'er Sheva game

UEFA charges Celtic after an "illicit banner" was displayed during their 5-2 Champions League qualifying win over Israeli side Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Wednesday night.

Celtic have been charged by UEFA over an "illicit banner" displayed during their Champions League qualifier against Israeli side Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Dozens of Palestinian flags were displayed during the 5-2 win for Brendan Rodgers's side on Wednesday.

The European governing body's rules prohibit the use of "any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature".

Celtic have already been punished by UEFA eight times in less than five years for a variety of offences and, if found guilty, could face the part-closure of their stadium for a future European fixture.

The case will be heard on September 22.
