Police and stewards dealing with Ajax fans in the aftermath of Celtic's opening goal.
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Ajax after the Dutch club’s supporters were involved in clashes during their Champions League match at Celtic Park.
Fans were seen clashing with stewards in the moments following Celtic’s first goal.
There were also reports of travelling supporters ripping up seats and throwing them at fans sitting in the home sections.
While Police Scotland confirmed no Dutch fans were arrested during the game, UEFA has now decided to take action and a hearing will take place next month.
A spokesman said: “Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against AFC Ajax for crowd disturbances and throwing of objects (article 16 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations) at last night’s UEFA Champions League match in Glasgow against Celtic FC. The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on 21 November.”
