Two Celtic fans are in hospital after they were stabbed by masked attackers in Rome.
The incident happened outside the Flann O'Brien pub in the Italian capital on Wednesday night.
Celtic are due to play Lazio in a Europa League clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening.
Italian police said the injured pair were taken to hospital for treatment.
Dennis Connelly, a fan from Kilmarnock, said: "We were just in the pub maybe the back of 11 last night and then maybe 15 or 20 Lazio fans, well I'm assuming Lazio fans, turned up with their masks on.
"They pen-knifed a guy, they stabbed a guy in the leg, now this man's 53 or 55 years old, I'm led to believe, so that shows how cowardly they are, they're targeting, without being disrespectful, they're targeting the older generation.
"The staff were brilliant, they pulled the shutters down, the police appeared within about five, six, seven minutes, and that was it."
Celtic had issued safety advice to fans amid tensions after a match between the clubs in Glasgow last month.
Supporters are advised to avoid wearing club colours while walking around Rome, particularly in the evening, stay in large groups where possible and keep a low profile.
A Celtic spokesman said: "We can confirm that two fans have been injured after being stabbed last night.
"Both are now in hospital and will receive every support from the club and the British consulate in Rome.
"Again we would strongly advise supporters to closely follow all guidance issued by the club."
The Glasgow club and Lazio were charged by Uefa over "illicit chants" heard during their Europa League match on October 24.
Celtic were also charged over the display of an "illicit banner" during the game, which they won 2-1.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
