Hotline first as Celtic and Rangers fans unite in pyro pals act before normal service resumes with Aberdeen billing dig

Don't reset your wifi, there's nothing wrong with it. The Hotline is as shocked as you are to see Old Firm fans agreeing.

Both Celtic and Rangers are in hot water with UEFA after sections of their support continued to ignore repeated warnings over using pyro. The Green Brigade displayed the only Celtic flare in Dortmund, lighting up Signal Iduna Park before their team were well and truly burned by Borussia, who smoked them 7-1. The consequences are a fine and a suspended two-year ban on the club selling away tickets, meaning if the pyro comes out against Atalanta in Bergamo, they'll be staying at home for a while.

Their rivals have also been hit in the pocket after a similar display at home to Lyon. Interim chairman John Gilligan has told the perps the fireworks displays have to stop now as the punishment payments mount up. Celtic's sentence shows where it's heading and there's a desire on both sides of the divide to extinguish things before the heat on both clubs is turned up even more.

Drew Ferguson, Oban, said: "Rangers must know who the morons are who continually cost the club money with pyrotechnics, and this will lead to stands being closed if this continues. Ban these idiots now and let all the Rangers fan enjoy a pyro free game."

Jim Docherty emailed: "Yet another fine and possible closure of grounds (when are the bampots, not really fans) going to get the message. When someone gets badly injured. C'mon toss the flares in the bin."

Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, suggested: "A small majority of Rangers fans using pyrotechnics at matches is costing the club more in fines than Rangers make from these inconsiderate Rangers fans. Simple solution: Ban these fans as it's easy to identify seat numbers. Then other true fans
