Roma fans face Rangers and Celtic lockout as UEFA act after Europa League chaos

Roma are set to face Rangers and Celtic without any away fans as Italian giants await a UEFA punishment. The Serie A giants will travel to Glasgow twice in the Europa League this season – with Roma due at Ibrox in November and Parkhead a month later. But Roma are set to be banned from having any away fans at both of the games after ugly scenes in France for their game at Nice. French police made over 100 arrests and 13 of them are due in court in November and face charges that could see them banged up on a five-year prison sentence. Police were attacked by Roma fans amid ugly scenes in the French city and at the stadium and the local police later confirmed they had confiscated knives, rocks, knuckle dusters and hammers. And reports in Italy have suggested the club have already accepted they will be banned from accepting any tickets for their three remaining away matches in the Europa League – against Rangers , Celtic and Panathinaikos.
