Celtic have been punished for their fans' behaviour in the Europa League win over Cluj

Celtic have been fined £10,400 by Uefa for fans setting off flares in the Europa League home win over Cluj.

It is the 18th time the Parkhead club have been punished by European football's governing body since 2007 and their second charge this season.

Celtic paid an £11,000 fine for their fans using flares and throwing objects in the play-off second-leg win over AIK in Stockholm in August.

Following the latest charge, the club vowed to tackle the problem.

Their statement expressed a "real disappointment and frustration in needing to appeal for this to stop."

Neil Lennon's men beat Cluj 2-0 at Celtic Park on 3 October to move top of Group E.

Celtic host Lazio on Thursday, then face the Italians in a partially closed Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 7 November after Simone Inzaghi's side were punished by Uefa for their fans' racist chanting in the 2-1 victory over Rennes.
