European governing body Uefa are investigating videos that appear to show Celtic Supporters singing sectarian songs outside the Nou Camp in Barcelona.
The songs are said to have been sung before the last 16 match in the Champions League on March 4.
Spanish side Barcelona won the match 1-0 and went through 4-2 on aggregate.
Sectarian singing
A Uefa spokesman said: “"We have received some footage showing Celtic supporters singing some alleged anti-Queen and pro-IRA songs - sectarian songs. If the investigation is conclusive, a disciplinary case would be opened."
Several videos have been brought to Uefa's attention, including film of supporters at the 'fan-zone' designated for travelling supporters.
"We take care of all manifestations of sectarian singing. The only condition is that it must be in the immediate surrounding area of the stadium. There was also alleged sectarian singing inside the stadium” added the spokesman.
This is not the first time that a Scottish club has been involved in investigations as a result of sectarian chanting.
Fined
City rivals Rangers were fined £8,280 by Uefa last season as a result of their fans sectarian chants after their last 16 game with Spanish club Osasuna.The footage was uncovered on the YouTube website.
The match against Osasuna was also in the news for hooliganism as Rangers supporters clashed with Spanish police.
At the time many travelling fans accused the police of heavy-handed tactics, or even brutality.
It was later revealed that several supporters who were banned from Ibrox had made the trip to Spain and gained entry to the El Sadar Stadium.
