Addendum
UEFA have confirmed to me that the match delegate for that fixture was Andrey Medintsev from Bulgaria.
Perhaps that is why, despite numerous media reports apropos bigotted singing, that there was no mention in the charges apropos discriminatory chanting by the away fans.
After reading this article by yourself,I then later read on the CelticNewsNow site a contradictory take on events from last weeks sevco visit to Feyenoord.
Here is the link to it…

The CNN article was put out 2/3 hours after yours,it may well be that both are factual…🍀
Since racism across the continent is now so high profile right now, I would have thought that it would have been logical to appoint UEFA delegates with a working knowledge of the languages of the attending fans, particularly when BOTH have history there.
Unlucky Phil, keep plugging away like a good chap
UEFA should appoint match delegates that have an excellent level of English and are aware of the context and potential breeches in any given match!!!
Anybody can see a firework, fgs.
As it stands, you might be punished in the delegate is up to standard, and you can do what you want if the guy is on a jolly.
Consistency needed!!!
I expect sevco will ask if they can pay the resultant fine back at 50p/week, as they are financially fooked. 😆
Why not get back in touch with them regarding the racist/sectarian singing?
The SFA should step up as teams at home and abroad are under their. Jurisdiction
absolute joke , why cant we contact fare and produce the countless media reports that stated the disgusting behaviour by the klan
As far as I can see from the FARE website, anyone can raise a complaint and they will then take it to UEFA…

Maybe we should all do so NOW!
Is the FARE report not seperate from the one from UEFA delegate/referees?
I notice scharges against Lille and Slavia Praha (?) will be heard on Dec 12. Why so late for Sevco and Feyenord? ie 27th of February?
seems like there has been some knuckle tickling gone on somewhere !
They might be bust by February 27th.
Who was the UEFA delegate ? Hugh Dallas ? Disgusting decision, Singing there was loud and clear for everyone to hear. Shambles.
No elicit banners, then ,or sing along
Nothing on their ‘cultural reworking’ of classic football songs or their Billy Boys outing for Dutch friends?
FARE were at the game… the evidence is on record.’
UEFA is a joke
