RENEGADE Celtic fans set off green flares ahead of their team's Scottish Cup clash with Stranraer today.
Eyewitnesses said "several" flares and smoke canisters were set off by Celtic fans before kick-off.
Celtic won the match 3-0, with goals from Griffiths and Cole.
Last month, Celtic banned two fans following the use of flares at the Hoops' Europa League clash with Fenerbahce.
A club statement said: "As part of our ongoing investigation into the recent match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul and the use of flares within the stadium,
Celtic today confirmed that it has indefinitely suspended two individuals from attending all Celtic matches, home and away.
"There have been calls from many for Celtic to raise a civil action in relation to recovering any fines imposed and this is something which the Club will consider.
"Celtic has repeatedly stated its strong opposition to the use of flares but regrettably again, a very small number of individuals have damaged the club they claim to support, resulting in a further UEFA charge."
