    Celtic Football Club has announced that it has suspended with immediate effect, 17 supporters who have been reported for offensive behaviour at the Club’s recent match against Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday, November 26.

    The offences relate to reports of offensive and sectarian chanting and singing.

    The Club has written to each seat holder affected, outlining the reasons for their suspension. Each individual will then be interviewed and if found guilty will be banned indefinitely from Celtic Park.

    The current suspensions will mean that until the Club’s investigations are completed, these individuals will not be permitted to attend any of Celtic’s home or away fixtures.

    A spokesperson for Celtic FC commented: "The overwhelming majority of Celtic supporters are a credit to the Club and we sincerely value the backing which these fans give the Club.

    "However, Celtic will continue to take a very strong stance against offensive behaviour of this nature and will do all it can to avoid the Club’s name being brought into disrepute by a small minority."
