Shamrock Rovers have recievied a huge fine from UEFA for incidents in relation to a Champions League game

LEAGUE OF IRELAND champions Shamrock Rovers have received a huge fine from UEFA for incidents in relation to their 2-1 Champions League home leg win over Ludogorets Razgrad. 

Rovers will have to fork out €21,875 after fans of the Dublin club threw bottles at Ludogorets goalkeeper Sergio Padt. 

Stephen Bradley's side were knocked out of the Champions League, and Padt performed a gesture to fans behind the goal 



 

€16,875 of the fine is for from throwing objects. The other €5,000 is for one fan invading the pitch. He was stopped by stewards 

Rovers’ fine was on the upper scale of punishments dished out for that round of fixtures - although it will only make a small dent in their total prizemoney, which currently stands at €3.6m and could grow during their Europa Conference League group stage campaign. 

Derry City were fined a total of €8,000 for the lighting of fireworks and invasion of the field of play during their game away to FC Riga.
