		</div><p>UEFA has started disciplinary proceedings against Celtic for the behaviour of their supporters during Tuesday&#8217;s Champions League game at Manchester City.</p>
<p>The Scottish champions face charges from European football&#8217;s governing body for setting off fireworks and &#8220;crowd disturbances&#8221; at the Etihad Stadium.</p>
<p>The game, a dead rubber with City already assured of qualification for the knock-out stages and Celtic unable to advance, finished 1-1.</p>
<p>This case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on February 23, 2017.</p>
<p>There had been some suggestions after the game that Manchester City may face charges, too, after a brief fight broke out in the ground between City and Celtic fans in the second half.</p>
<p>Home fans also booed the Champions League pre-game anthem, as they have several times since the club was fined for breaking UEFA&#8217;s financial fair play rules in 2014, but City appear to have escaped without censure.</p>
<p>Celtic brought an estimated 4,000 fans to the game and, for the most, their behaviour was praised.</p>

<p>A statement on the Greater Manchester Police website said there were 14 arrests made throughout the day for relatively minor offenses.</p>
<p>Superintendent Craig Thompson of Greater Manchester Police Specialist Operations Branch said: &#8220;Our policing operation has now come to an end and I am pleased to say that the fixture passed largely without incident, which I think is a testament to fans of both clubs.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I would like to thank them for their cooperation throughout and although the result may not have been what either side wanted, I hope everyone in attendance enjoyed the occasion and the competitive atmosphere the game was played in.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have significant experience in policing occasions like this and sadly, as is often the case, we did experience a small number of incidents which were dealt with swiftly and resulted in a number of arrests.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8220;However, the majority of fans were extremely well behaved and I hope everybody has a safe journey home.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>But one of those arrests was made when a 27-year-old man threw a hamburger at a police horse before the game.</p>
<p>On Wednesday morning, Greater Manchester Police&#8217;s City Centre twitter feed said: <i>&#8220;Man arrested Drunk &#038; Disorderly throwing hamburger at police horse @ManCity v @celticfc got £90 fine. Horse remains in stable condition&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>Two hours later, the same twitter feed posted an update: <i>&#8220;Time to go home? 2 calls today to drunk Celtic fans causing issues: 11am damage pub&#8217;s Xmas tree after refused drink + Midday rowdy Market St&#8221;.</i></p>
