Celtic have been sanctioned by UEFA following their Champions League play-off tie against Bayern Munich.
The governing body has imposed financial penalties on the club and issued manager Brendan Rodgers with a suspended touchline ban after disciplinary breaches during both legs of the tie.
UEFA has fined the club €10,000 due to a delayed kick-off in the second leg of the tie in Germany on February 18. As a consequence, Rodgers has received a one-match suspension from UEFA competitions, though it will only be enforced if further infractions occur within the next year.
In addition, Celtic have been fined €9,000 for issues relating to their supporters blocking public passageways during the first leg at Celtic Park.
