Shaktar Donetsk have let rip at UEFA after the association sold broadcast rights from their Champions Leg clash against Celtic to Russian TV channels.
Celtic will travel to Poland next week with the clash unable to take place in Ukraine with the club not hosting a home game due to the Russian invasion.
And the club were left furious after Polish media revealed the rights to the game was sold to Russian-based Match TV which is owned by Russian energy giants Gazprom, who European football's governing body cancelled their contract with after the war started in February.

Shakhtar are the only Ukrainian club in the Champions League and stated: "We are furious with this decision. The country of the aggressor must be isolated as much as possible.
"We are opposed not only to the participation of Russian clubs in European competitions, but we also call for Russia to be excluded from all international competitions, including those under the aegis of UEFA and FIFA.
The world sports community must finally unite on this issue and exclude Russia from all organisations and block its cooperation with sponsors. Especially when it comes to selling television rights."
Shakhtar earlier revealed the match against Celtic is heading for a sell-out, with only 2,500 tickets left of the 31,800 available at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego.
