An occurrence deemed ‘quite unusual’ transpired against RB Leipzig, which Neil Lennon believes may result in a UEFA penalty for Celtic.

Neil Lennon believes that Celtic may incur a UEFA sanction as a result of a “unusual” occurrence during their match against RB Leipzig. For years, Celtic has been subjected to various financial

penalties imposed by UEFA. Pyro has been the subject of discussion at Celtic as the governing body endeavored to eliminate its use in the game. The use of illegal fireworks during the Champions League and Europa League fixtures resulted in UEFA adopting a strict posture against three of its member clubs.

However, Celtic may once again be subject to the wrath of UEFA due to an action that Brendan Rodgers may have committed during the halftime of the Parkhead match against RB Leipzig. Neil Lennon believes that Celtic may be subject to a UEFA sanction for their late halftime performance. Neil Lennon stated during the first half analysis that Celtic could be subject to a penalty from UEFA if they delayed the resumption of the second half.

UEFA imposed a €15,000 fine on Celtic in 2020 for Neil Lennon’s conduct following the postponement of the kick-off of their match against FC Copenhagen. The precise actions that were taken are still unknown. It appears that Lennon is speaking from personal experience in this instance. In 2020, Celtic was also penalized by UEFA for having an excessive number of players disciplined during a Europa League match against Lille. On Tuesday night, was it possible for Celtic to undermine the authority of the governing body over a trivial issue? I would not be surprised, given the strictness of UEFA’s regulations.
