UEFA have confirmed today that there will be no investigation into media allegations concerning the behaviour of some Celtic supporters during their recent visit to Barcelona for the
Champions League tie between Celtic and FC Barcelona.
A Celtic spokesperson commented: “As we said on Friday, we never felt that there was any case to answer and we welcome confirmation of this from UEFA today.
“This was simply an attempt by a journalist to manufacture a story and tarnish the good name of Celtic Football Club.
“Celtic and its supporters enjoy a unique relationship with FC Barcelona and our recent visit to the city was very well received once again by the club, the people of the city and the Catalan police. Indeed, the conduct of our fans was also applauded by UEFA.
“Celtic Football Club states quite clearly that as a club open to all, it stands firmly against all forms of bigotry and sectarianism. This can be seen from the great volume of work which Celtic carries out in this area.
“The club condemns anyone who chooses to indulge in any form of negative or offensive behaviour.”
