The Scottish Professional Football League has sanctioned Aberdeen, Celtic, and Partick Thistle for fan pyrotechnic displays and related incidents during matches. Aberdeen and Celtic are subject to reduced fan attendance by 200 if misconduct recurs, while Partick Thistle risks stand closure due to a pitch invasion. Investigations revealed organized illegal pyrotechnics during matches, posing health and safety risks to fans and personnel. The incidents disrupted play and broadcasting, prompting the league's action against clubs for not preventing or disciplining responsible supporters.
Aberdeen, Celtic, and Partick Thistle have been disciplined by the Scottish Professional Football League for their fans' pyrotechnic displays at the end of last season.
The two Premiership clubs will have to reduce the number of fans by 200 if there is a repeat of the 'unacceptable conduct', while Championship outfit Thistle would face the closure of a stand after their display was also followed by a pitch invasion.
The league initiated an investigation into 'large-scale, organised and illegal pyrotechnic displays' at matches involving Aberdeen, Celtic, St Mirren, and Partick Thistle.
These incidents caused a health and safety risk to fellow supporters, players and those working at matches; as well as a significant inconvenience to those in attendance.
