Celtic have been fined £7,300 by Uefa following crowd disturbances during their Europa League group stage match against Dinamo Zagreb.

It is the sixth time in three years Celtic have been charged by Uefa over supporter behaviour.

Fans clashed with police after fireworks were set off in the Celtic end of Stadion Maksimir as the Scottish champions lost 4-3 in Croatia.

Despite that December defeat, Celtic qualified for the last 32.

The fine - imposed by Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body - was announced as Celtic and their fans travelled to Italy for the Thursday's second leg against Inter Milan.

Reacting to the news, Celtic assistant manager John Collins stressed that it is "vitally important" that travelling supporters match what he suggested was the good behaviour displayed by home fans during the 3-3 first-leg draw in Glasgow.

"We are obviously disappointed," he said. "We had 60,000 last week and it was unbelievable behaviour from every one of them, the atmosphere, and that is what Celtic is all about.

"One or two are causing problems and hopefully that is the last we hear of it.

"They are representing a wonderful football club and throughout the years the vast majority of them have been impeccably behaved and we have a great reputation throughout Europe.

"One or two we have to try to weed out."
