CELTIC fans face further Hampden ticket sanctions after the champions were one of three clubs to be hit with disciplinary charges relating to pyrotechnics.

The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) revealed Celtic, Aberdeen and Partick Thistle face notices of complaint.

In March, Celtic and Rangers were hit with an immediate reduction of 500 tickets for the next Scottish League Cup match to be played at Hampden as a result of similar offences at the final in December.

The Hoops were also handed a suspended sanction of a reduction of 800 tickets for a future Scottish League Cup match at Hampden if there were further offences in any SPFL match over a two-year period.

An league statement read: “During the 2024/25 season the SPFL took disciplinary action against a number of clubs and notices of complaints have now been raised against three clubs in respects of incidents which occurred at the end of the season – Partick Thistle, Aberdeen and Celtic.”

Celtic have been cited over a “large-scale orchestrated pyrotechnic display” which took place on the final game of the Premiership season against St Mirren.
