The two teams were also fined 5,000 euros each after fans let off fireworks inside the San Siro, European soccer's ruling body UEFA said in a statement on Monday.

The second-leg tie, which Inter won 1-0 for a 4-3 aggregate victory, was littered with yellow cards. There were six for Celtic, including two for Virgil van Dijk, and two for Inter.

Van Dijk was sent off before halftime for a foul on Mauro Icardi that resulted in his second booking.
