BREN HOPES IT'S WAKE-UP CALL

BRENDAN RODGERS hopes the message will finally get through to the pyro-maniacs who have cost the club 500 tickets for their next League Cup trip to Hampden.

SPFL chiefs hit the Hoops and Rangers this week after this season's semi-finals and final were held up by what they deemed “large-scale, organised and illegal pyro-technics displays”.

UEFA warned Celtic last month they could face having to play an away Euro tie with no travelling fans due to repeat offences.

Rodgers said after that, he feared punters wouldn't listen to his pleas to ditch flares and smoke bombs.
