Celtic manager Ronny Deila says he is proud of the club's passionate supporters but insists the club will deal with anyone who is offensive.
Celtic's Scottish Cup fourth-round clash with Hearts at Tynecastle resulted in a spat between the two clubs after trouble on the terraces.
Hearts owner Ann Budge's criticism of the behaviour of both sets of fans was weighted towards the Hoops support who occupied the Roseburn Stand during a 4-0 win for the visitors.
Budge was "appalled" at vandalism she claimed "caused the destruction of close to 100 seats" while also complaining of "intimidation" of Gorgie fans and staff.
Generally the Celtic supporters are fantastic and I am proud when we go around Scotland and in Europe and see what atmosphere they create.
Celtic responded with a statement outlining their own concerns and claiming that missiles were thrown into the Parkhead support to the injury of one fan, and "sectarian abuse was again directed at Celtic staff and players".
Hoops boss Delia is hoping the clubs will "sort" the problem but admits he enjoyed the passion of the game.
"I didn't think it was very hateful," said the Norwegian.
"It was an intense atmosphere but that's nice, I enjoyed it, that's why I came here, to have these games.
"The start of the game saw a lot of intensity and it was a real battle and that makes Scottish football better.
"It is much better than going to a stadium which has no intensity and I think the players love it as well.
"I didn't see what happened so it is not my call but generally the Celtic supporters are fantastic and I am proud when we go around Scotland and in Europe and see what atmosphere they create.
"There was a lot of people there so sometimes things happen which we have to deal with.
"In Sweden it is worse, so other countries have more problems than in Scotland.
"But is important that when families come to stadiums they feel safe.
"We want to have the focus on football and that is what we are going to do in the future. We are going to sort these things out with Hearts."
