MOTHERWELL have complained about Celtic fans trashing toilets and seats during their match at Fir Park last night.
The club has claimed more than 200 seats were found broken in the South Stand following last night’s dramatic Premiership clash.
A club statement read: “We will work with Celtic Football Club to fully investigate, amongst other things, the numerous acts of vandalism, including 206 broken seats, damaged toilets and graffiti in the McEwan Fraser Legal South Stand.”
Motherwell also said it would investigate a complaint made by Celtic captain Scott Brown that home fans were throwing coins at Hoops players throughout the game.
Brown said: "There's a lot of talk about decisions but people are being hit by coins and getting stuff thrown at them pretty much every week now just because we're doing so well in the league and the away fans don't like that.
"We've understood it's part and parcel with going away now.
"Leigh Griffiths is hitting corners and getting things thrown at him. People have got to make sure we're OK as well.
"When you're hitting a corner or a free kick, I know teams that shout and sing whatever they want but you can't be throwing things. It's not setting a good example. It's more when we go away from home."
Motherwell said: “We also note the comments of the Celtic captain.
“As we do at every match at Fir Park, if any incidents are reported to us, we will fully investigate them.
“Should any evidence exist, we will take appropriate action against any individuals who have acted unacceptably.”
The Lanarkshire club has also written to the SFA asking for clarity over back-to-back penalty awards for Celtic in both the Wednesday night match and the Betfred Cup Final at the weekend.
