Celtic got their first win of the Europa League season this week, with a 2-1 victory against Sturm Graz at home. The Hoops made a comeback after the break, with goals from Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren sealing all three points for Brendan Rodgers' side. They will be hoping to use this result as a launching pad for the rest of their campaign in Europe and domestically too. Of course, it was not all positive for them.
Celtic suffered a trio of injuries on the night as key players went down. Cameron Carter-Vickers could be out for as many as five months. Alistair Johnston and Kelechi Iheanacho look set for spells on the sidelines as well.
So, all things considered, the game might have done more harm than good for Celtic in the long run. Now, it remains to be seen how they are able to adjust to the absence of so many key players amid an already shaky run of form.
Well, they might end up getting a helping hand from UEFA on one of their upcoming away trips in the Europa League. The home team look set to be without a large section of their fanbase in attendance on the night.
UEFA set to hand out ban for Celtic's Europa League game
As reported by the Daily Record, Feyenoord are likely to be handed a partial stadium closure for their game against Celtic. This is due to their fans' use of fireworks in their recent match against Panathinaikos. The stand is where their most passionate fans attend games and it would reduce the capacity by around 10,000 seats. The Dutch side are already on a suspended sentence from UEFA.
Celtic do have happy memories of facing Feyenoord. The last time these two sides met, the Hoops won 2-1 thanks to a late Gustaf Lagerbielke winner. It was the Hoops' first win in the Champions League in years.
Of course, they did lose away at De Kuip that season. It was a night in which Lagerbielke and Odin Thiago Hoilm were sent off.
