​Celtic cited by Uefa for display of Palestinian flags

Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after supporters displayed Palestine flags during their Champions League qualifier against Israeli side Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

European football's governing body said the charges related to the presence of an "illicit banner" with the case to be dealt with on 22 September.

Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side won the first leg of the play-off to reach the group stage 5-2.
