UEFA Sanctions Rangers and Celtic Over Banner and Timekeeping
UEFA has imposed sanctions on both Rangers and Celtic following recent incidents during European matches. Rangers have been handed a suspended one-match stand closure at Ibrox due to a banner displayed during their Europa League game against Benfica. The banner, which was deemed offensive, led to UEFA's decision to penalize the club, although the closure is suspended for two years.
On the other hand, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers received a sanction for his timekeeping during a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. Rodgers was charged for being late to a press conference, which UEFA deemed a breach of their regulations. Additionally, Celtic faces the threat of a stand closure at Parkhead due to a racist banner displayed during a previous match against Lazio.
These sanctions highlight UEFA's ongoing efforts to enforce strict disciplinary measures across European football, aiming to maintain a standard of conduct both on and off the pitch. Both clubs have acknowledged the penalties and are working to ensure compliance with UEFA's rules moving forward.
