Tam McManus reckons the Celtic board will be fuming with a section of the Parkhead support after banners referencing the Queen's death landed the club in hot water with UEFA.
European football's governing body have announced an investigation into the club over banners on display in the away end during their Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland, with Ange Postecoglou 's side in action for the first time since Queen Elizabeth's passing. A number of banners referencing her death were seen in the away end, including one which read 'f*** the crown' and another reading 'sorry for your loss Michael Fagan'.
It leaves the club facing the prospect of another sanction from UEFA having been hit with several fine in recent seasons due to fan banners, and McManus reckons the higher-ups will be sick of dealing with the complaints. McManus insists the football authorities could come down hard on Celtic and put a partial stadium ban in place.
The Record Sport columnist told The PLZ Football Show: "The banner is poor. I mean, it’s going all over Europe. I don’t think there was any need for it. There is a section of Celtic supporters that liked the banner, and there will certainly be some that didn’t and thought it was distasteful.
"I think they will get punished. I think they will get fined again by UEFA or it might even be partially closing part of the stadium for a home game which then punishes the club. The hierarchy and the board at the club will be pulling their hair out. They keep apologising and keep getting fined for a section of the Celtic support."
