Celtic have announced part of their standing section will be closed for the upcoming Europa League clash with Rennes.
The club have confirmed the self-imposed closure of rows A-M in the section, which is used by the Green Brigade.
It comes after the side were sanctioned by UEFA for pyrotechnics during games against Cluj and Stockholm.
The club has also recently been charged for illicit chanting and illicit banners against Lazio.
Anyone within the closed section will receive a refund.

A statement by the club reads: "Celtic has ultimate responsibility for the safety of all our supporters and it is a responsibility which we take very seriously.
"We need to tackle any behaviour which can compromise the safety of our supporters including the use of pyrotechnics, overcrowding and offensive chanting or banners.
"Following the latest UEFA disciplinary decision we can confirm that there will be a partial closure of the rail seating section at Celtic Park for the forthcoming match against Rennes."
The statement added that the UEFA charges "damage the Club’s reputation and this behaviour continues to threaten supporter safety."
It continues: "UEFA’s rules and the Club’s long-established ground regulations are very clear. Indeed, the Club engages in regular dialogue with all supporters groups to ensure these are well known and understood.
"We have considered this matter very carefully. It is disappointing that behaviour which is unsafe and which we all know will breach UEFA and Club regulations has continued."
