Linfield and Celtic fined by UEFA over Windsor Park incidents
The Blues must also close the lower tier of the South Stand for their next UEFA competitive game as a punishment for objects being thrown at one of the Celtic players – and for a Linfield supporter running on to the pitch.
Celtic’s fine relates to Leigh Griffiths “provoking spectators” by tying a Celtic scarf to the goalposts at Windsor Park.
