Parts of Lazio's stadium will be closed to supporters for their Europa League match against Celtic next month.

UEFA hit the Italian club with the sanctions over racist behaviour during their last group match against French side Rennes.

However, the section of the Stadio Olimpico hosting travelling Celtic fans will still be open with as many as 9000 expected to make the trip to Rome.

European football's governing body announced the decision on Wednesday morning.

Lazio have been forced to close the lower and upper areas of sections 46, 47, 48 and 49, and ordered to display a UEFA #EqualGame banner on the empty seats.

The Scottish champions travel to take on the Serie A side on November 7, two weeks after they host them at Celtic Park.

The Hoops are currently top of the group after a draw against Rennes in France and a 2-0 victory over Romanian champions Cluj.
