Celtic's opening Europa League opponents, Ferencvaros, have been hammered by their own FA for their notorious fans' behaviour.

The Hoops welcome the Hungarian side on Thursday for their first game in the league phase of the tournament.

But the Hungarian FA have ordered them to close a section of their Groupama Arena stadium for a domestic league match because of the behaviour of their supporters.

Their fans were guilty of shouting 'offensive and discriminatory expressions' during their match against Puskas Academy this term. They have been ordered to close three sections of their ground for their next league match.

The Hungarian FA stated: "Ferencvaros supporters were found guilty of shouting offensive and discriminatory expressions in their match against the Puskas Academy, and ordered the partial closure of the Groupama Arena.

"Due to their repeated offences within a previous suspended sentence, the association was left with no other alternative."

UEFA also fined Ferencvaros £15,000 and ordered another partial stadium closure for the racist behaviour of its supporters earlier this year.
