“Brendan Rodgers Urges Celtic Fans to Avoid Fireworks Amid Uefa Sanction Threat”

Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, has issued a stern warning to the club's supporters regarding the use of fireworks during the upcoming Champions League match against RB Leipzig. He emphasized the potential consequences of such actions, particularly in light of a recent incident that could lead to a Uefa ban. Celtic faced repercussions after their fans used pyrotechnics during a 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund last month, resulting in a fine from Uefa. The governing body has made it clear that if there is another similar incident within the next two years, Celtic supporters will be prohibited from attending an away match. While the warning was taken seriously during a recent away game against Atalanta, the situation escalated again during the Scottish League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen, where the match kick-off was delayed due to another display of fireworks by Celtic fans. Uefa is closely monitoring the situation, and Rodgers is urging fans to refrain from using pyrotechnics to avoid further sanctions against the club.
