Motherwell have been fined almost £17,000 by UEFA after incidents in their early Conference League qualifying ties.

The Fir Park club was fined €4,000, just under £3,500, after UEFA found public passageways had been blocked during the match against Havnar Boltfelag.

UEFA also issued a warning over the scoreboard following the same fixture.

A further €15,000 fine, worth almost £13,000, was imposed after UEFA ruled there had been an effective invasion of the field of play during the away match against HJK Helsinki.
